of the major challenges of urban development has been reconciling
the way cities develop with the mounting evidence of resource
depletion and the negative environmental impacts of predominantly
urban-based modes of production and consumption. This book aims to
re-politicise the relationship between urban development,
sustainability and justice, and to explore the tensions emerging
under real circumstances, as well as their potential for
transformative change. For some, cities are the root of all that is
unsustainable, while for others cities provide unique opportunities
for sustainability-oriented innovations that address equity and
ecological challenges. This book is rooted in the latter category,
but recognises that if cities continue to evolve along current
trajectories they will be where the large bulk of the most
unsustainable and inequitable human activities are concentrated. By
drawing on a range of case studies from both the global South and
global North, this book is unique in its aim to develop an
integrated social-ecological perspective on the challenge of
sustainable urban development. Through the interdisciplinary and
original research of a new generation of urban researchers across
the global South and North, this book addresses old debates in new
ways and raises new questions about sustainable urban development.
