Abstract
As climate change dramatically reshapes how we understand, imagine, live in, and intervene in cities, a New Climate Urbanism is emerging as a way to rethink and reorient urban life. In this introduction we highlight this edited volume’s key contributions to climate urbanism research and to our collective understanding of the relationship between the climate crisis and urban transformations.
