Cities Demanding the Earth: A New Understanding of the Climate Emergency - Paperback

by Peter J. Taylor (Author), Geoff O'Brien (Author), Phil O'Keefe (Author)

The demands that we are making on nature by living in cities has reached a crisis point and unless we make significant changes to address it, the prognosis is terminal consumption.

Providing a radical new argument that integrates global understandings of making nature and making cities, the authors move beyond current policies of mitigation and adaption, calling for a reinvention of cities as spaces for activism.
