As a result of global dynamics-the increasing interconnection of
people and places-innovations in global environmental governance
haved altered the role of cities in shaping the future of the
planet. This book is a timely study of the importance of these
social transformations in our increasingly global and increasingly
urban world. Through analysis of transnational municipal networks,
such as Metropolis and the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,
Sofie Bouteligier's innovative study examines theories of the
network society and global cities from a global ecology
perspective. Through direct observation and interviews and using
two types of city networks that have been treated separately in the
literature, she discovers the structure and logic pertaining to
office networks of environmental non-governmental organizations and
environmental consultancy firms. In doing so she incisively
demonstrates the ways in which cities fulfill the role of strategic
sites of global environmental governance, concentrating knowledge,
infrastructure, and institutions vital to the function of
transnational actors.
