The city blown up—review of Javier Arbona- Homar, Explosivity
Climate change and urban-agrarian solidarities
As climate change has heightened the significance of urban-agrarian material entanglements and intellectual and political oppositions, the need to speak across them has become more urgent. Scholarship in agrarian and urban studies is concerned with specific social processes and political demands in agrarian and urban contexts, respectively. These processes and demands are often articulated in opposition to one another, despite the fact that the p…
Planet at the End of the City
Is the city good or bad for climate? You would think we would know. Stories abound in newspaper op‐eds, policymaker commentaries and climate reports about the presumed environmental benefits of cities. For critical urban theorists the goodness and greenness of the city is not always so evident, but so far critical urban theory seems unable to shift the emerging consensus about the state of the city at the possible end of the planet. I examine urb…
Planning for Climate Leadership
The profession of planning must act now to become an integral player addressing the existential crisis of climate change. This Commentary builds on the findings of the 2020–2021 Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning’s Presidential Climate Action Task Force, which assessed opportunities to enhance the academy’s climate leadership in research, teaching, and operations. We argue that our field must integrate climate research and education in…
Theory…Out of Practice
Form and Flow
An examination of urban climate change response strategies and the resistance to them by grassroots activists and social movements. Cities around the world are formulating plans to respond to climate change and adapt to its impact. Often, marginalized urban residents resist these plans, offering “counterplans” to protest unjust and exclusionary actions. In this book, Kian Goh examines climate change response strategies in three cities—New York, J…
Out in Space
A common thread has emerged in recent critiques of planetary urbanization. Whether on empirical, epistemological or theoretical grounds, critics tend to posit 'difference against abstraction', arguing that planetary urbanization-as an abstract theory of large-scale phenomena-occludes 'everyday' embodied, small-scale and place-based forms of social difference in its production and/or application. Here we engage with this critique as two queer, fem…
Planning the Green New Deal
Climate change and the rise of a grassroots–legislative political–environmental movement in the United States should change how urban planners think and act on spatial change and social justice. After the 2018 U.S. elections, organizing movements and progressive legislators endorsed the Green New Deal. In this Viewpoint I look at the Green New Deal’s potential implications for urban planning. I analyze it in reference to the 1930s’ New Deal inspi…
Urbanising climate justice
Central debates in urban studies often appear to neglect the most urgent issues confronting cities and regions. Discourses on generalised urban processes, historical difference and planetary urbanisation rarely take, as a primary object of analysis, intertwined global climate change and urban change. Climate change is often considered generalised, affecting everyone everywhere. But its impacts are unevenly distributed and experienced. It links ge…
Flows in formation
As climate change threats to urban centres become more alarming, cities are proposing ambitious plans to adapt to climate impacts. These plans are increasingly subsumed within urban development projects, and embedded in global flows of capital and networks of environmental governance and planning. And yet, scholarship on urban adaptation has tended to approach the city as an analytically bounded territory, neglecting interconnections across space…
Urban Waterscapes
The threat of flooding in cities is often compounded by political and economic decisions made on watershed management, land development and water infrastructure and provisioning. It has also become a point of conflict between cities' objectives for development and modernization, and the struggles of marginalized residents living in low-lying coastal and riverine areas to remain in place. Flooding takes on different forms depending on one's point …
Safe Cities and Queer Spaces
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) visibility is at a high. Gay marriage is a reality. Gay urban enclaves are threatened by their own success, historic icons of the movement subsumed by urban development. Yet violence and homelessness continue, and socioeconomic disparities are reinforced in LGBT communities, particularly among women, people of color, young and old, and gender-nonconforming. Overlapping identities and systems of oppre…
Urban planning, community (re)development and environmental gentrification
This chapter examines how so-called urban greening and sustainability approaches can produce or exacerbate environmental inequities and how select urban communities are beginning to organize against new injustices. It focuses on the US and examines diverse examples of urban environmental inequity produced in the context of neighborhood greening and community (re)development. In the analysis of community-based environmental revitalization in Bosto…
Roadmap towards justice in urban climate adaptation research
Equity Impacts of Urban Land Use Planning for Climate Adaptation
A growing number of cities are preparing for climate change impacts by developing adaptation plans. However, little is known about how these plans and their implementation affect the vulnerability of the urban poor. We critically assess initiatives in eight cities worldwide and find that land use planning for climate adaptation can exacerbate socio-spatial inequalities across diverse developmental and environmental conditions. We argue that urban…
