Cities in the Anthropocene

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the impact of climate change and extreme weather, the author explores how urban environments shape our daily lives and governance. Through site visits and interviews in cities like Darwin, Tulsa, Cleveland, and Cape Town, the narrative emphasizes the potential of local governments to spearhead meaningful environmental actions. It argues that while national policies often fall short, cities can mobilize communities and foster a political agenda that integrates nature into urban planning and daily life, driving transformative pro-environment initiatives.
