Description

Consuming Cities: The Urban Environment in the Global Economy after Rio explores how cities function as primary drivers of environmental consumption. This Routledge publication examines the global spread of policies designed to reduce urban impact and evaluates the real-world effectiveness of the Rio Declaration. Through diverse case studies, the text provides a deep look at urban environmental issues across several continents. Readers can analyze specific regional developments in the USA, Japan, Germany, the UK, China, India, Sweden, Poland, Australia, and Indonesia. This book serves as a vital resource for understanding how global economic trends and local urban policies interact to shape the future of our planet's environments. Each chapter is written by contributors with direct experience in urban environments and policy-making within their respective countries. This ensures that the analysis is grounded in practical, real-world knowledge rather than just theory. Whether you are studying higher education earth sciences or researching global urban policy, this book offers a comprehensive perspective on the relationship between growing cities and the global economy.
