    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:


    Efforts to create greener urban spaces have historically taken many forms, often disorganized and undisciplined. Recently, however, the push towards greener cities has evolved into a more cohesive movement. Drawing from multidisciplinary case studies, Urban Natures examines the possibilities of an ethical lively multi-species city with the understanding that humanity?s relationship to nature is politically constructed. Covering a wide range of sectors, cities, and urban spaces, as well as topics ranging from edible cities to issues of power, and more-than-human methodologies, this volume pushes our imagination of a green urban future.




    ?This vibrant essay collection takes the study of urban nature in new directions. A series of questions concerning agency, ethics and subjectivity within the more-than-human city are examined through a rich array of interdisciplinary and international contributions.? ? Matthew Gandy, University of Cambridge



    ?This is an admirably wide-ranging collection of case studies ? providing a broad state of knowledge snapshotting the politics of the urban green from a critical social science perspective, focusing on the diverse lived experience.? ? Franklin Ginn, University of Bristol
