Climate change is a real and undeniable phenomenon, with extreme weather events serving as its physical manifestations. These extreme events have a profound impact on our daily lives and work in cities, shaping the way we design, plan, and govern them. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, taking action for the environment becomes not just a moral obligation but a response to our everyday experiences in the urban realm.
This book, based on author's site visits and interviews in Darwin (Australia), Tulsa (Oklahoma), Cleveland (Ohio), and Cape Town (South Africa), explores how cities can lead a transformative pro-environment politics. It highlights the challenges faced by national governments in achieving meaningful environmental agreements and demonstrates how cities, as local sites of mobilizing collective political agendas, can be the frontiers for activating the kind of environmental politics that recognizes the essential role of nature in the functioning of our urban lives.
The book showcases successful examples of cities that have taken proactive measures to address climate change, such as implementing renewable energy systems, promoting sustainable transportation options, and protecting natural resources. It emphasizes the importance of local governance, community engagement, and innovative policymaking in driving environmental change. By highlighting the potential of cities to lead the way in environmental stewardship, this book offers a valuable roadmap for policymakers, urban planners, and community members alike in their efforts to create more sustainable and resilient cities.
