Planning Education for Sustainability
This paper examines how tools from Higher Education for Sustainable Development (HESD) can be adapted to strengthen sustainability and climate change education in urban planning. Drawing on a literature review of eighty-three HESD articles, it identifies a relational perspective that foregrounds nature and the environment as a foundational pedagogical orientation. From this review, the paper highlights four key pedagogies—interdisciplinarity and …
Making Informal Water Distribution Work
Global environmental change can disproportionately impact vulnerable populations in informal settlements already struggling with diminished access to resources, conditions of poverty, and other inequalities. Simultaneously, climate variability is projected to increase global water scarcity and make “formal access” to water (i.e., through gray infrastructure sponsored by a centralized government) not only politically unlikely but also physically u…
From resilience attributes to city resilience
Adding a Seat at the Table
Blue Shield of California's Community Health Advocate Program was created to support whole person-health needs by helping individuals of all socio-economic statuses navigate and access community resources, social services, and medical systems. Blue Shield's Health Reimagined team is partnering with medical providers, community resources centers, and community partners to provide intensive person-centered and technology-enabled care to patients, e…
The survival of agriculture on the edge
Building actor-centric transformative capacity through city-university partnerships
Governing the gaps in water governance and land-use planning in a megacity
Agricultural change and resilience
Urban resilience efforts must consider social and political forces
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans the biological, physical, and social sciences.
A qualitative investigation of childbearing and seasonal hunger in peri-urban Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Adapting to risk and perpetuating poverty
LivestockPlus
Researching farmer behaviour in climate change adaptation and sustainable agriculture
Growing buildings in corn fields
Urban growth continues to rise globally, especially in and around small cities and peri-urban areas of the developing world. In Mexico, a culture of maize production still exists alongside rapid urban and industrial growth, which exemplifies a hybridized urban-rural landscape. This paper discusses a study of household land-use and livelihood strategies in the Toluca Metropolitan Area, west of Mexico City, a traditional maize-growing region that h…
Child malnutrition and climate in Sub-Saharan Africa
Understanding peri-urban maize production through an examination of household livelihoods in the Toluca Metropolitan Area, Mexico
An obsolete dichotomy? Rethinking the rural-urban interface in terms of food security and production in the global south
The global food system is coming under increasing strain in the face of urban population growth. The recent spike in global food prices (2007–08) provoked consumer protests, and raised questions about food sovereignty and how and where food will be produced. Concurrently, for the first time in history the majority of the global population is urban, with the bulk of urban growth occurring in smaller-tiered cities and urban peripheries, or ‘peri-ur…
