What do we mean when we say that cities have altered humanity's
interaction with nature? The more people are living in cities, the
more nature is said to be "urbanizing": turned into a resource,
mobilized over long distances, controlled, transformed and then
striking back with a vengeance as "natural disaster". Confronting
insights derived from Environmental History, Science and Technology
Studies or Political Ecology, Urbanizing Nature aims to counter
teleological perspectives on the birth of modern "urban nature" as
a uniform and linear process, showing how new technological
schemes, new actors and new definitions of nature emerged in cities
from the sixteenth to the twentieth century.
