4.9/5 (11058 ratings)

Description:The 21st century has been called the "century of the city." Unprecedented and uneven urban growth and expansion coupled with climate change have compounded concerns that current urbanization pathways are not sustainable. Calls for scholarship on urban sustainability among geographers cite strengths in both examining human-environment interactions as well as unravelling urbanization patterns and processes that positioned the discipline to make unique contributions to critical research needs. Geographic Perspectives on Urban Sustainability reflects on the contributions that geographers have made to urban sustainability scholarship on varied domains such as transportation, green infrastructure, and gentrification. Contributed chapters probe uniquely geographic perspectives on urban resilience, environmental justice, political ecology, and planning that arise from empirically integrating social and biophysical realms that arise from considering spatial dimensions of problems like scale and place-based peculiarities of phenomena.This book will be of great value to scholars, students, and policymakers interested in Urban and City Planning, Political Ecology and Sustainable Urbanism. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Urban Geography.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
