Exploring the ways that contemporary urban life takes the Holocene
for granted, this multidisciplinary book warns that anthropogenic
environmental impacts are on course to challenge the viability of
most human settlements. It highlights how, despite increased
warnings, most cities appear to be in denial of the potential
impending catastrophes and remain ill-prepared to handle major
disruptions. Chapters offer a critical appraisal of the end of an
urban epoch: the Holocene city. Moving from more general aspects of
urban vulnerability in the face of the Anthropocene, the book then
looks at more specific issues and cases illustrating alternative
adaptation pathways. It further analyses existing approaches,
movements and networks for urban preparedness for the climate
crisis, offering visualisations of the ways these can be improved,
conceiving alternative futures and reinventing the city. A timely
resource for this emerging topic, the book will be beneficial to
urban studies, environmental science and development studies
scholars. Practitioners in urban planning, design, management and
evaluation will also find the critical case studies in the book
particularly helpful.
