Thinking beyond from within the urban PhD
This commentary offers reflections and provocations on some of the contradictions we have encountered between our urban research and universities as an interdisciplinary and international group of doctoral students. Based within universities across Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong lands in Melbourne, Australia, these reflections emerge from a settler colonial context in a moment of rising far-right white nationalism and militarism. In drawing …
Localized nature-based solutions for enhanced climate resilience and community wellbeing in urban informal settlements
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are considered to hold promise for addressing the pressing and multi-faceted challenges of climate resilience. Addressing this contemporary agenda, this research paper explores the potential value of NbS in urban contexts based on the experience of implementing four NbS pilots to address climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction in an informal settlement in Honiara, Solomon Islands. The project, funded by the Swe…
Transformative localization to accelerate the 2030 Agenda
Urban adaptation pathways at the edge of the anthropocene
Pacific Island cities exhibit high levels of informality. In these spaces, traditional cultural practices and production converge with the periphery of global financial markets and systems of trade and production. These hybrid, nonconforming urban systems fall between regional policy agendas, requiring practitioners to embed urban considerations within broader regional platforms such as climate change. This paper demonstrates how these “covert” p…
Cities and the SDGs
City action is critical to achieving global visions for sustainability such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, SDG ‘localisation’ is complex procedure, with divergent outcomes depending on context and diverse city processes. This paper considers the operational challenges faced by city actors in taking on the SDGs, and subsequent implications for initiating local (and global) sustainability transitions. We analyse emergent…
Leaving no urban citizens behind
Resilient cities in a Sea of Islands
Leveraging endogenous climate resilience
Pacific Small Island Developing States are often referred to as the “frontline” of climate change, facing an array of worsening climate-related shocks and stressors. However, despite their underlying exposure to climate change impacts, the role of Pacific Island cities as both an avenue for adaptation and sites of climate vulnerability is often overlooked. This paper reflects on two ongoing participatory action research projects conducted by UN-H…
