"A critical and novel contribution from top climate social scientists examining the potential and contradictions of climate urbanism for an environmentally just and transformative development."
- Isabelle Anguelovski, ICREA Research Professor and Director, Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain
This book argues that the relationship between cities and climate change is entering a new and more urgent phase. Thirteen contributions from a range of leading scholars explore the need to rethink and reorient urban life in response to climatic change. Split into four parts it begins by asking 'What is climate urbanism?' and exploring key features from different locations and epistemological traditions. The second section examines the transformative potential of climate urbanism to challenge social and environmental injustices within and between cities. In the third part authors interrogate current knowledge paradigms underpinning climate and urban science and how they shape contemporary urban trajectories. The final section focuses on the future, envisaging climate urbanism as a new communal project, and focuses on the role of citizens and non-state actors in driving transformative action.
Consolidating debates on climate urbanism, the book highlights the opportunities and tensions of urban environmental policy, providing a framework for researchers and practitioners to respond to the urban challenges of a radically climate-changed world.

Rezensionen
"The book is a must read for researchers, policymakers, students and practitioners aiming to explore how climate action can move from being reactive to being transformative and more equitable. ... Practitioners and researchers grappling with these challenges should read this book to not only understand how current urban climate action is lacking, but to gain some insight into working towards more equitable climate action." (Laura Tozer, Buildings & Cities, buildingsandcities.org, March 2, 2024)
