What do we mean when we say that cities have altered humanity's interaction with nature?
The more people are living in cities, the more nature is said to be "urbanizing":
turned into a resource, mobilized over long distances, controlled, transformed and
then striking back with a vengeance as "natural disaster". Confronting insights derived
from Environmental History, Science and Technology Studies or Political Ecology, Urbanizing
Nature aims to counter teleological perspectives on the birth of modern "urban nature"
as a uniform and linear process, showing how new technological schemes, new actors
and new definitions of nature emerged in cities from the sixteenth to the twentieth
century
