Urban Political Ecology and the Climate Crisis

This course is forced on a set of analytic perspectives and theories associated with urban political ecology. Topics include political ecology, social-ecological transitions, resilience theory and emerging views on climate urbanism. These topics will be explored through current debates and their application to cases of urban policy and planning practice in a global context. It is a reading-intensive exploration of politics, broadly defined, and of natures, as they relate to environmental ideologies and forms of governance. These theoretical frameworks will allow students to synthesize empirical observations in ways that that inform their understanding of the contemporary evolution of climate and environmental thinking in planning practice. The course reviews the evolution of environmental thinking in planning and examines new conceptual paradigms triggered by intensive urbanization, social inequality, conflict, displacement, biodiversity and climate change, and evolution of environmental practice.
