Books in the Routledge Equity, Justice and the Sustainable City series series

This book provides the standards for equitable bicycle advocacy, policy, and planning by defining and operationalizing bicycle justice. In synthesizing the projects of critical cultural studies, transportation justice, and planning as applied practice, this book reveals the relevance of civil rights and social justice concerns to public interventions intended to increase cycling.

While most of the existing literature on community gardens and urban agriculture share a tendency towards either an advocacy view or a rather dismissive approach, this collection investigates and reflects on the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of these initiatives.

This is one of the first books to explore the impact that emerging transport technology is having on cities and their residents, and how policy is needed to shape the cities that we want to have in the future.

Just Green Enough is a theoretically rigorous, practical, global and accessible volume exploring, through varied case studies, the complexities of environmental improvement in an era of gentrification as global urban policy. It concludes by suggesting new ways to understand what "green" looks like and ways to achieve it without displacement.

The most prolific and persistent product of the unfolding vision of `liveable cities¿ and `cities for people¿ has been the genesis and growth of `complete streets;¿ a concept and movement that has exploded across the urban planning, transportation planning, environmental policy, sustainable communities, and other scenes. This book about those where important missing narratives in the complete streets discourse and practice result in streets that are "complete" for some but not others. It applies a critical perspective on the rhetoric and practice of complete streets that goes beyond seeing streets as merely functional spaces for moving people and objects.

Urban centers are bastions of inequalities, where poverty, marginalization, segregation and health insecurity are magnified. Minorities and the poor ¿ often residing in neighbourhoods characterized by degraded infrastructures, food and job insecurity, limited access to transport and health care, and other inadequate public services ¿ are inherently vulnerable, especially at risk in times of shock or change as they lack the option to avoid, mitigate and adapt to threats.Offering both theoretical and practical approaches, this book proposes critical perspectives and an interdisciplinary lens on urban inequalities in light of individual, group, community and system vulnerabilities and resilience. Touching upon current research trends in Food Justice, Environmental injustice through socio-spatial tactics and solution based approaches towards urban community resilience, Resilience, Environmental Justice and the City promotes perspectives which transition away from the traditional discussions surrounding environmental justice and pinpoints the need to address urban social inequalities beyond the build environment, championing approaches that help embed social vulnerabilities and resilience in urban planning.With its methodological and dynamic approach to the intertwined nature of resilience and environmental justice in urban cities this book will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners within urban studies, environmental management, environmental sociology, and public administration.
