Description

Urbanizing Nature explores how cities have fundamentally transformed humanity's relationship with the natural world since 1500. This scholarly work challenges conventional narratives about urban nature's development, demonstrating that urbanization is neither uniform nor linear but shaped by diverse technological schemes, actors and agency across time. By integrating insights from Environmental History, Science and Technology Studies and Political Ecology, the book examines how nature becomes a resource, mobilised over long distances, controlled and transformed by urban societies - whilst also revealing how natural systems strike back as disasters. Part of Routledge's Advances in Urban History series, this volume provides critical perspectives on the complex entanglement of cities and nature, moving beyond teleological approaches to reveal the contested histories and multiple pathways through which urbanization and nature have co-evolved.
