Examining urban environmental issues at the macro, municipal level
down to the micro community and individual level, this volume
features cities and metropolitan regions across the global north
and south with case studies from the United States, Canada, Eastern
and Western Europe to India, Central America, South America and
Africa. Contributions on the global north examine: the role of
governing processes in sustainable cities; local growth machines
and their carbon consequences; tackling climate change adaptation
through community participation; climate protection and the
participation and engagement of citizens; the importance of
networking; and assessing the success of the environmental justice
within emissions trading schemes. Case studies on the global south
look at such topics as: how resource-constraints shape climate
adaptation; the emergence of low-carbon development; urban
vulnerability and adaptation to the health impacts of air pollution
and climate extremes; global environmental changes and impacts on
fishing activities; environmental justice and the social
construction of space in urban poor communities; and the inverse
connection between gender and climate change.
