520 |a 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. Vanesa Castan Broto is Professorial Fellow at the Urban Institute in the University of Sheffield, UK. She currently leads the projects Low Carbon Action in Ordinary Cities, LOACT (European Research Council) and Community energy and sustainable energy transitions in Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, CESET (UK Global Challenges Research Fund). Enora Robin is Research Fellow at the Urban Institute, University of Sheffield, UK, where her work explores how climate change reshapes everyday living in cities. Her research currently investigates the reconfiguration of energy infrastructure systems in Ghana and Mozambique. Aidan While is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning and co-director of the Urban Institute at the University of Sheffield, UK. He has researched urban environmental policy since the early 1990s, charting the ebb and flow of climate policy and its intersections with economic and social policy in cities in Europe, Asia and North America.
