The 21st century has been called the "century of the city."
Unprecedented and uneven urban growth and expansion coupled with
climate change have compounded concerns that current urbanization
pathways are not sustainable. Calls for scholarship on urban
sustainability among geographers cite strengths in both examining
human-environment interactions and unravelling urbanization
patterns and processes that positioned the discipline to make
unique contributions to critical research needs. Geographic
Perspectives on Urban Sustainability reflects on the contributions
that geographers have made to urban sustainability scholarship on
varied domains such as transportation, green infrastructure, and
gentrification. Contributed chapters probe uniquely geographic
perspectives on urban resilience, environmental justice, political
ecology, and planning that arise from empirically integrating
social and biophysical realms that arise from considering spatial
dimensions of problems like scale- and place-based peculiarities of
phenomena. This book will be of great value to scholars, students,
and policymakers interested in Urban and City Planning, Political
Ecology, and Sustainable Urbanism. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Urban Geography.
