Urban sustainability and justice are among the most pressing global challenges as urbanization continues. This is especially true in the Global South, where local governments struggle immensely with providing housing, water and energy as well as healthy living conditions for billions of people. While the Global North undertakes increasing efforts towards urban sustainability through e.g. greening its cities to improve quality of life and to reduce health costs, there is an increasing connection between South and North through trade, commodity chains, tourism, communication and other financial flows, where changes in one region will spill over to others and impact local sustainability opportunities and challenges. This seminar will discuss research on urban sustainability and green infrastructure. Pressures on urban land and threats to ecosystems will be discussed, as well as greening and blueing of cities. Justice aspects will be emphasized, as well as global, urban health and well-being, including heat stress, water supply and aspects of migration and resource exploitation.
