More recently, a new generation of scholars has turned the focus towards the climate emergency. \u003ci\u003eTurning up the heat\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to turn UPE's critical energies towards a politically engaged debate over the role of extensive urbanisation in addressing socio-environmental equality in the context of climate change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe collection brings together theoretical discussions and rigorous empirical analysis by key scholars spanning three generations, engaging UPE in current debates about urbanisation and climate change. Engaging with cutting edge approaches including feminist political ecology, circular economies, and the Anthropocene, case studies in the book range from Singapore and Amsterdam to Nairobi and Vancouver. Contributors make the case for a UPE better informed by situated knowledges: an embodied UPE that pays equal attention to the role of postcolonial processes and more-than-human ontologies of capital accumulation within the context of the climate emergency. Acknowledging UPE’s rich intellectual history and aiming to enrich rather than split the field, \u003ci\u003eTurning up the heat\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how UPE is ideally positioned to address contemporary environmental issues in theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58841237979510,"sku":"9781526167996","price":31.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_41095083.jpg?v=1790654241","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781526167996-turning-up-the-heat","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
