\u201cWe propose a dual frame for understanding urban nature, in which it is both a bundle of enablers and imagined values for particular forms of urban social life, and, simultaneously, a set of overlapping institutions, processes, and interdependencies through which urban material and cultural life are continually produced, defined and organized\u201d- Rademacher and Sivaramakrishnan, Ecologies… Continue Reading Ecologies of Urbanism<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

“…it is time to rethink the geographies of urban and regional theory. Much of the theoretical work on city-regions is firmly located in the urban experience of North America and Western Europe. This is not unusual.
