Browse Hierarchy GEG5150: New York: Nature and the City

As a world city undergoing a series of dramatic social and biophysical transformations, from a key site in the development of colonial rule to more recent urban design for climate change resilience, New York is a city where major ideas of nature have been negotiated, narrated and practised. Preparatory lectures and a seven-day field course focus on the changing geographies of nature in New York and their connections to the wider geographies of global environmental change, the Anthropocene and urban sustainability.
