Urban centres are bastions of inequalities, where poverty,
marginalization, segregation and health insecurity are magnified.
Minorities and the poor - often residing in neighbourhoods
characterized by degraded infrastructures, food and job insecurity,
limited access to transport and health care, and other inadequate
public services - are inherently vulnerable, especially at risk in
times of shock or change as they lack the option to avoid, mitigate
and adapt to threats. Offering both theoretical and practical
approaches, this book proposes critical perspectives and an
interdisciplinary lens on urban inequalities in light of
individual, group, community and system vulnerabilities and
resilience. Touching upon current research trends in food justice,
environmental injustice through socio-spatial tactics and
solution-based approaches towards urban community resilience,
Resilience, Environmental Justice and the City promotes
perspectives which transition away from the traditional discussions
surrounding environmental justice and pinpoints the need to address
urban social inequalities beyond the build environment, championing
approaches that help embed social vulnerabilities and resilience in
urban planning. With its methodological and dynamic approach to the
intertwined nature of resilience and environmental justice in urban
cities, this book will be of great interest to students, scholars
and practitioners within urban studies, environmental management,
environmental sociology and public administration.
