Why does the way we think about urban children and urban nature
matter? This volume explores how dichotomies between
nature/culture, rural/urban, and child/adult have structured our
understandings about the place of children and nature in the city.
By placing children and youth at the center of re-theorising the
city as a socio-natural space, the book illustrates how children
and youth's relations to and with nature can change adultist
perspectives and help create more ecologically and socially just
cities. As a key contribution to children's studies, the book
engages and enlivens debates in urban political ecology and urban
theory, which have not yet treated age as an important axis of
difference. With examples from ten localities, the chapters in this
volume ask how we can subvert both romanticized and modernist
conceptualizations of nature and childhood that conflate innocence
and purity with children and nature; the volume asks what happens
when we re-invent urban natures with children's needs and
perspectives in mind.
