| Description |
Human beings have always wrought destruction in their natural environments. Until the twentieth century, however, this damage was either limited and local or it was widespread in only a handful of large conurbanations centred in the imperial economies of the planet's northern hemisphere. Today, however, the inhabitants of hundreds of large cities all over the world are relentlessly reshaping the traditional and modern economies of every continent as they exert global and local demands in "glocalized" spaces for energy, foodstuff, information, labour, and materiale through world markets. Hence, this analysis responds to the call for paying more attention "to urban ecologies and the policies developed around them as part of the formation of world cities" by exploring the environmental impact of generalized urbanism or "global cities."
