Increasingly, we live in an environment of our own making: a 'world
as design' over the natural world. For more than half of the global
population, this environment is also thoroughly urban. But what
does a global urban condition mean for the human condition? How
does the design of the city and the urban process, in response to
the issues and challenges of the Anthropocene, produce new ethical
categories, shape new moral identities and relations, and bring
about consequences that are also morally significant? In other
words, how does the urban shape the ethical-and in what ways?
Conversely, how can ethics reveal relations and realities of the
urban that often go unnoticed? This book marks the first systematic
study of the city through the ethical perspective in the context of
the Anthropocene. Six emergent urban conditions are examined,
namely, precarity, propinquity, conflict, serendipity, fear and the
urban commons.
