Vanesa Castán Broto
Climate Change and Cities

My name is Vanesa Castán Broto and I am a Professor of Climate Urbanism at the Urban Institute (UI) of the University of Sheffield.
Welcome
Climate urbanism
"Climate Urbanism could be anything" (Reviewer 2)
Climate urbanism is the hypothesis that climate change is redrawing the collective imaginaries of the city.
At the UI, the theme 'climate urbanism' has brought together an interdisciplinary team of scholars focusing on how climate politics play out at the local level. The theme raises questions in relation to spatial inequalities, day-to-day practices, social economies and innovation. It also calls for alternatives to deliver climate action—from participatory planning to climate activism.
