This book challenges the notion that nature is a city's opposite
and addresses the often-overlooked concept of urban nature and how
it relates to children's experiences of environmental education.
The idea of nature-deficit, as well as concerns that children in
cities lack for experiences of nature, speaks to the anxieties that
underpin urban living and a lack of natural experiences. The
contributors to this volume provide insights into a more complex
understanding of urban nature and of children's experiences of
urban nature. What is learned if nature is not somewhere else but
right here, wherever we are? What does it mean for children's
environmental learning if nature is a relationship and not an
entity? How can such a relational understanding of urban nature and
childhood support more sustainable and more inclusive urban living?
In raising challenging questions about childhoods and urban nature,
this book will stimulate much needed discussion to provoke new
imaginings for researchers in environmental education, childhood
studies, and urban studies. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Environmental Education Research.
