These extreme events affect how we live and work in cities, and subsequently the way we design, plan, and govern them. Taking action 'for the environment' is not only a moral imperative; instead, it is activated by our everyday experience in the city. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on the author's site visits and interviews in Darwin (Australia), Tulsa (Oklahoma), Cleveland (Ohio), and Cape Town (South Africa), this book tells the story of how cities can lead a transformative pro-environment politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e National governments often fail to make binding agreements that bring about radical actions for the environment. This book shows how cities, as local sites of mobilizing a collective, political agenda, can be frontiers for activating the kind of environmental politics that appreciates the role of 'nature' in the everyday functioning of our urban life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ihnji Jon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745341500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745341507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Ihnji Jon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989046427903,"sku":"9780745341507","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efb4713f-362d-449f-a7da-1c81790d0b28.jpg?v=1683297529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cities-in-the-anthropocene-ihnji-jon-9780745341507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
