Urban regions are exposed to increasingly frequent heat waves and floods that leave decision makers without immediate answers. In the context of this global crisis, this book addresses the need for a better understanding of the current model of urban expansion. Cities are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but they are also celebrated for their contribution to economic growth. The current moment is one of a large paradigm shift as climate change is now recognized as a legitimate public problem. This is especially true for city dwellers, who are increasingly exposed to climate change, the loss of biodiversity and heavy pollution while natural breathing spaces continue to shrink around them. The sixteen chapters of this book do not offer any off-the-rack or technical solutions, but they analyze the urban conundrum and the contribution of cities to the climate crisis. Some chapters focus on individual car ownership, land privatization, waste management and land use changes under the guise of development. Others explore local and contextual answers to urban governance issues. With the support of CEDEJ and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, researchers, experts and civil society actors explore the ongoing transformations of Middle Eastern urban environments and mobilities and question them in relation to the climate crisis. The contributions are based on empirical knowledge gathered in the Nile Delta, the Greater Cairo Region, Riyadh and Beirut. Without concessions to mainstream thinking, this book contributes to a better understanding of urban challenges, climate threats and policy responses in contexts marked by growing environmental inequalities. 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEnvironmental Studies 606 $aclimate change 606 $aair pollution 606 $aanthropocene 606 $asustainable mobility 606 $awaste 606 $acities in transition 606 $aarchitecture and rehabilitation 606 $aurban expansions 606 $aurban development challenges 606 $asocial and ecological justice 606 $anature-based solutions 606 $aurban governance 610 $aclimate change 610 $aair pollution 610 $aanthropocene 610 $asustainable mobility 610 $awaste 610 $acities in transition 610 $aarchitecture and rehabilitation 610 $aurban expansions 610 $aurban development challenges 610 $asocial and ecological justice 610 $anature-based solutions 610 $aurban governance 615 4$aEconomics 615 4$aEnvironmental Studies 615 4$aclimate change 615 4$aair pollution 615 4$aanthropocene 615 4$asustainable mobility 615 4$awaste 615 4$acities in transition 615 4$aarchitecture and rehabilitation 615 4$aurban expansions 615 4$aurban development challenges 615 4$asocial and ecological justice 615 4$anature-based solutions 615 4$aurban governance 700 $aAbosira$b Mohammed$01340545 701 $aAlaeddine$b Tala$01340546 701 $aBadir$b Romani$01340547 701 $aBonnefoi$b Florian$01340548 701 $aDeboulet$b Agnès$01288791 701 $aDíaz-Bone$b León$01340549 701 $aDorghamy$b Ahmed El$01340550 701 $aEl-Gerzawy$b Ragia$01340551 701 $aFanchette$b Sylvie$0662073 701 $aFlorin$b Bénédicte$01297388 701 $aGarcia$b Ibrahim$01340552 701 $aGhodbane$b Dalila$01315131 701 $aHady$b Nabeel El$01340553 701 $aHassan$b Iman$01340554 701 $aHuybrechts$b Eric$0802334 701 $aIbrahim$b Kareem$01315135 701 $aIskandar$b Laila$01340555 701 $aMansour$b Waleed$01340556 701 $aMenoret$b Pascal$0496139 701 $aMousa$b Heba Attia$01340557 701 $aSaksouk$b Abir$01340558 701 $aSayed$b Sara$01340559 701 $aSeyam$b Sara$01340560 701 $aSims$b David$0556860 701 $aZaazaa$b Ahmed$01340561 701 $aDeboulet$b Agnès$01288791 701 $aMansour$b Waleed$01340556 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910629399003321 996 $aMiddle Eastern Cities in a Time of Climate Crisis$93062567 997 $aUNINA
