Climate change has demonstrated, perhaps more than any other
environmental concerns, the complexities of the human-nature
interrelationship and the need for embedding a far greater
environmental consciousness into our social values and norms. A
drastic reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions requires a
transition to low carbon cities. This demands a better
understanding of the interactions between social, technical, and
spatial processes which constitute cities. The aim of this book is
to explore these interactions and urge urban planners and other
built environment professionals to revisit some of their
traditional concepts, methods, and ways of thinking about what
constitutes a 'good' city and according to whose priorities. The
book brings together nine contributions ranging from broad
overviews to sector-specific analysis, paying particular attention
to the role of urban planning. Contributors cover climate change
mitigation and adaptation, deal with different scales of analysis
ranging from international and European to national and city
perspectives, and discuss a range of policy sectors including
housing, transport, energy, sea level rise as well as pathways for
climate policy implementation. The diversity of the contributions
is itself a reflection of the multitude of climate change concerns
that preoccupy researchers, policy makers and practitioners. This
book was published as a special issue of European Planning Studies.
