Description

Current societies face unprecedented risks and challenges connected to climate change. This Routledge Studies in Human Geography publication examines the fundamental transformations required in the infrastructures that sustain everyday life. To address climate risks, societies must reorganize how they produce and use energy, specifically regarding water, waste, and mobility. Cities play a central role in this transition. Because they concentrate the social and economic activities that produce climate change related emissions, urban areas are central to any low carbon future. At the same time, cities are increasingly recognized as sources of opportunities for climate change action. This book explores these dynamics within the framework of urban and land use planning, providing a deep look at how large scale reorganization can lead to more sustainable urban environments.
