Urban Environmental History

Urban Environmental History studies how cities and their environments have interacted over time. It examines how urban life influences natural landscapes, resources, and ecosystems, as well as how environmental changes impact urban development. This field looks at issues such as pollution, urban planning, green spaces, and social inequality, highlighting the relationship between humans and their urban surroundings. By understanding these dynamics, we can better address contemporary challenges like climate change, sustainability, and public health in urban settings, ensuring cities are more livable and resilient for the future.
