What is the potential of creative practice for building community resilience in flood-prone communities in the UK
Planning, Art, and Aesthetics
Robin Hood Gardens (RHG) was a brutalist social housing estate in Poplar, East London, built in 1972 by British architects Alison and Peter Smithson, and since 2017 has been undergoing demolition to be turned into luxury flats as part of the Blackwall Reach Development scheme. Its recent trajectory has followed a similar pattern of state led gentrification experienced by many other inner-city housing estates; with a history of managed decline, pu…
Environmental Justice and Resilience in the Urban Global South
There has been a profusion of work since the turn of the last century exploring environmental justice in urban areas and resilience in cities of the Global South. These works have largely entailed the assumption of an a priori positive relationship between the two. In introducing this volume, we argue that a case-study approach based on empirical research is necessary in order to reveal the more complex ways in which the relationship between envi…
Urban Resilience and Justice
The conclusion reflects on the theoretical, conceptual, methodological and empirical breadth of the contributing chapters and returns to the question outlined at the beginning of the book: what is the relationship, emerging connections and tensions between environmental justice and resilience in urban areas of the Global South? As explored throughout the chapters, in the face of environmental injustices, people develop survival strategies to cope…

Environmental Justice and Urban Resilience in the Global South
This edited volume provides a fresh perspective on the important yet often neglected relationship between environmental justice and urban resilience. Many scholars have argued that resilient cities are more just cities. But what if the process of increasing the resilience of the city as a whole happens at the expense of the rights of certain groups? If urban resilience focuses on the degree to which cities are able to reorganise in creative ways …
Private needs, public responses
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the experiences of vulnerable people during flood events, impacts of changes in mobility on well-being and the extent to which frontline services, emergency planning officers and other service providers allocate resources for vulnerable members of the community to meet the challenges posed by floods. Design/methodology/approach – In-depth qualitative interviews carried out with 15 vulnerable resid…
Where is Power in Governance? Why Geography Matters in the Theory of Governance
The concept of governance has provided many ways to theorise the shifting power relations between the state, interest groups and civil society over the last 30 years. Theorisations have culminated in ‘spatial imaginaries’ for visualising new governing practices and their associated power relations. By paying attention to these imaginaries, it is possible to see how each theory of governance brings particular spatialities of power to the fore, whi…
The limits to good governance and the state of exception
Scales of knowledge
Recent European Union fisheries governance reforms have included the development of new regional fora designed to enable stakeholders and scientists to deliberate together about the nature of the fisheries crisis and its possible solutions. In this devolved context, fishing industry groups frequently argue, deploying local knowledge of the fishing grounds, that stocks are in better shape than many authorities estimate using the tools of universal…
The North Sea Fisheries Crisis and Good Governance
In the European Union, 'principles of good governance' have been instituted across several sectors in response to criticisms from environmentalists, business and the public, because of alleged inefficiency, inadequate policy implementation, democratic deficit and environmental crisis. In fisheries, the pursuit of good governance has gained extra significance because it has been posited as a means to eliminate many of the problems that characteris…
