Reimagining Urban Nature questions some of the underlying
imaginaries which have for so long allowed us humans to develop
technologically at great cost to the more-than-human world and
ourselves. In urban places, cultural and more-than-human entities
are in frequent contact; however, the non-human is often seen as
expendable in these human-centric places. While much important work
has been done on improving care for the more rural and wild areas
of the globe, to really address environmental damage we must work
towards reimagining the city. These are places where the majority
of people live and work, and where the majority of decisions are
made about the care and protection of many environments within and
beyond the city. This book contributes to the still under-developed
field of urban ecocriticism by adding a posthumanist perspective,
as well as expanding current discussions within urban studies and
environmental activism that seek to shift political and cultural
imaginaries of urban nature. Importantly, this investigation is
grounded in the Australian (and more broadly, the Australasian)
context to allow for the analysis of a more diverse set of voices,
texts and ecologies in an area still dominated by the northern
hemisphere and the Global North.
