Efforts to create greener urban spaces have historically taken many forms, often disorganized and undisciplined. Recently, however, the push towards greener cities has evolved into a more cohesive movement. Drawing from multidisciplinary case studies, Urban Natures examines the possibilities of an ethical lively multi-species city with the understanding that humanity’s relationship to nature is politically constructed. Covering a wide range of sectors, cities, and urban spaces, as well as topics ranging from edible cities to issues of power, and more-than-human methodologies, this volume pushes our imagination of a green urban future.
“This vibrant essay collection takes the study of urban nature in new directions. A series of questions concerning agency, ethics and subjectivity within the more-than-human city are examined through a rich array of interdisciplinary and international contributions.”• Matthew Gandy, University of Cambridge
“This is an admirably wide-ranging collection of case studies … providing a broad state of knowledge snapshotting the politics of the urban green from a critical social science perspective, focusing on the diverse lived experience.”• Franklin Ginn, University of Bristol
