With an ever-growing majority of the world's human population
living in city-spaces, the relationship between cities and nature
will be one of the key environmental issues of the 21st Century.
This timely book investigates how the rapidly growing number of
city dwellers across the globe relate to their natural environments
and what this means for the future of these environments. Offering
an interdisciplinary approach to the impacts of urban spaces on the
future of the environment, the book is a full-scale attempt to
radically rethink the relationship between cities and nature. The
editors bring together a diverse set of well-known authors and new
voices to explore the various aspects of this relationship both
theoretically and empirically. Rather than considering cities as
wholly separate from nature, a running theme throughout the book is
that cities, and city dwellers, should be characterized as
intrinsic in the creation of specifically urban-generated
'socio-natures'. An essential resource for those working at the
intersection of cities and the environment, it will be of great
value to urbanists, geographers, planners, sociologists,
economists, anthropologists, policy makers, public administrators
and environmental scientists. Contributors include: K. Archer, L.
