Urban rewilding for sustainability and food security
Urban sustainability and food security remain pressing issues for cities across the world. Here, we argue that adapting rewilding to urban contexts unlocks new solutions for societal challenges. Rewilding is an established paradigm in ecological restoration, with the goal of restoring autonomous biotic and abiotic agents and processes. However, urban rewilding is an emerging but under-studied phenomenon that calls for multispecies coexistence and…

Constructing practice-oriented futures for sustainable urban food policy in Bangkok
Conventional policy approaches emphasize technical solutions and individual behavioral change, but practice-based policy approaches offer an alternative. This paper examines the operationalization of a practice-oriented futures policy development process. The process builds on practice theory to generate alternative sustainable future pathways and policy intervention ideas, and in doing so, extends the vocabulary for policy-focused futures work. …
Not just playing
Simulation games are increasingly popular tools for opening up future imaginaries, especially in the arena of sustainability policy-making and decision support. However, there is a lack of understanding regarding the potential power of games in anticipatory governance. We argue that the utility of simulation games in support of anticipatory climate governance can be greatly increased when game processes are consciously designed to impact present …
"Stahlmann's "Asian Eyes
This article focuses on the fictionalized character of the Soviet spy Richard Stahlmann, who was attributed with "Asian eyes" by Peter Weiss, in volume 3 of The Aesthetics of Resistance. In a passage that describes Stahlmann's visit to Angkor Wat, the character's identity crisis is precipitated by his self-Orientalizing gaze, leading him to doubt his commitment to communism. The article relates this to Weiss's own biographical experience as a lef…
Unlocking the potential of gaming for anticipatory governance
Games offer unique possibilities for imagining and experimenting with new systems of governance for more sustainable futures – new rules and institutions, new roles, and new dynamic worlds. However, research on sustainability games has mostly investigated games as a type of futures method, largely divorced from its societal contexts. In this paper, we argue that to unlock the potential of gaming for anticipatory governance in the service of a mor…

Understanding Threats to Young Children’s Green Space Access in Unlicensed Daycare Centers in Japan
Access to green space (GS) is vital for children's health and development, including during daycare. In Japan, deregulation to alleviate daycare shortages has created a new category of so-called unlicensed daycare centers (UDCs) that often lack dedicated GS. UDCs rely on surrounding GS, including parks, temples and university grounds, but reports of conflicts highlight the precarity of children's well-being in a rapidly aging country. Knowledge a…
Multispecies sustainability
Non-technical summary The sustainability concept seeks to balance how present and future generations of humans meet their needs. But because nature is viewed only as a resource, sustainability fails to recognize that humans and other living beings depend on each other for their well-being. We therefore argue that true sustainability can only be achieved if the interdependent needs of all species of current and future generations are met, and prop…

Ready for more-than-human? Measuring urban residents’ willingness to coexist with animals
In the context of rapid urbanisation, geographers are calling for embracing non-humans as urban co-inhabitants. But if animals and plants are seen as ‘out of place’, sharing urban space can lead to wildlife conflicts. We therefore need to better understand residents’ willingness to coexist if we are to work towards more-than-human cities. This study quantitatively compared residents’ preferences toward sharing their neighbourhood, as well as perc…
‘It's real, not fake like a park’
Urban parks and gardens may be failing to meet the diverse nature needs of a growing global urban population. Informal urban greenspace (IGS) such as vacant lots, street or railway verges and riverbanks may provide space for unstructured recreation and nature contact. Yet we know little about residents relationship with IGS outside of Europe and North America, whatfactors influence IGS use and evaluation, or what role geographic and cultural cont…
Memories of vacant lots
Contact with nature is vital for the development of children and teenagers. In the past, informal urban green spaces (IGS) such as vacant lots appear to have been used for such purposes. We need to better understand how previous generations used IGS to make sure young people today can also enjoy its social, mental, emotional and physical health benefits. This study quantitatively compared adult residents' memories of IGS use in their childhood an…
