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.
