| Summary |
Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of scholars, this edited volume illustrates how and why cities are comprised by a mosaic of vulnerable human and ecological communities. Case studies range across various international settings and reveal how "urban vulnerabilities" is an effective metaphor and analytic lens for advancing political ecological theories on the relationship between humans and the environment in urban settings. |
