Environmental Justice and Urban Resilience in the Global South

Editat de Adriana Allen, Liza Griffin, Cassidy Johnson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 dec 2017
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 and adapt to shocks, do pervasive inequalities in access to environmental services have an effect on this ability? This book brings together an interdisciplinary and intergeneration group of scholars to examine the contradictions and tensions that develop as they play out in cities of the Global South through a series of empirically grounded case studies spanning cities of Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe.

Recenzii

“The volume is distinctive amid other literature in this field in its focus on the connection of resilience to environmental justice in the Global South. … The book will be most useful to researchers in environmental justice, particularly in the developing world, but also to those interested more generally in how resilience is being approached in a global context.” (Christopher L. Atkinson, International Journal of Public Administration, April 2018)
