The social and material production of urban nature has recently emerged as an important area in urban studies, human/environmental interactions and social studies. This has been prompted by the recognition that the material conditions that comprise urban environments are not independent from social, political, and economic processes, or from the cultural construction of what constitutes the ‘urban’ or the ‘natural’. Through both theoretical and empirical analysis, this groundbreaking collection offers an integrated and relational approach to untangling the interconnected processes involved in forming urban landscapes.The essays in this book attest that the re-entry of the ecological agenda into urban theory is vital both in terms of understanding contemporary urbanization processes, and of engaging in a meaningful environmental politics. They debate the central themes of whose nature is, or becomes, urbanized, and the uneven power relations through which this socio-metabolic transformation takes place.Including urban case studies, international research and contributions from prominent urban scholars, this volume will enable students, scholars and researchers of geographical, environmental and urban studies to better understand how interrelated, everyday economic, political and cultural processes form and transform urban environments.

À l’ère de l’Anthropocène, nos villes semblent concentrer en leur sein tous les composants de la crise écologique en cours. Elles regorgent pourtant de ressources qui permettraient de résoudre une partie des problèmes que leur développement actuel suscite. Les matières déchues, les espaces bâtis, mais aussi les savoirs ancestraux et les pratiques culturelles représentent autant d’opportunités qui peuvent et doivent ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives d’action pour accompagner nos sociétés vers les nombreux changements qui se profilent. Déceler ces potentialités requiert intelligence et méthode, en raison notamment de leur nature latente, imperceptible, enfouie.Complément des recherches récentes sur le thème du recyclage dans les milieux urbains (Recycler l’urbain. Pour une écologie des milieux habités, MētisPresses, 2014), Ressources urbaines latentes nous amène à faire un pas en arrière pour diriger notre regard sur les conditions qui existent en amont de ces projets et pratiques de recyclage.

Water lies at the intersection of landscape and infrastructure, crossing between visible and invisible domains of urban space, in the tanks and buckets of the global South and the vast subterranean technological networks of the global North. In this book, Matthew Gandy considers the cultural and material significance of water through the experiences of six cities: Paris, Berlin, Lagos, Mumbai, Los Angeles, and London. Tracing the evolving relationships among modernity, nature, and the urban imagination, from different vantage points and through different periods, Gandy uses water as a lens through which to observe both the ambiguities and the limits of nature as conventionally understood.
