The City is an Ecosystem maps an interdisciplinary,
community-engaged response to the great ecological crises of our
time-climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequality-which
pose particular challenges for cities, where more than half the
world's population currently live. Across more than twenty
chapters, the three parts of the book cover historical and
scientific perspectives on the city as an ecosystem; human rights
to the city in relation to urban sustainability; and the city as a
sustainability classroom at all educational levels inside and
outside formal classroom spaces. It argues that such efforts must
be interdisciplinary and widespread to ensure an informed public
and educated new generation are equipped to face an uncertain
future, particularly relevant in the post-COVID-19 world. Gathering
multiple interdisciplinary and community-engaged perspectives on
these environmental crises, with contemporary and historical case
study discussions, this timely volume cuts across the humanities
and social and health sciences, and will be of interest to
policymakers, urban ecologists, activists, built environment
professionals, educators, and advanced students concerned with the
future of our cities.
