Abstract
Supporting Global Sustainability by Rethinking the City 3 Supporting Global Sustainability by Rethinking the City Karen Ferguson, Anthony Perl, Meg Holden, and Mark Roseland EW, if any, cities have had the luxury of an extended respite from change. Contending with recurring physical and social challenges is a core element of the urban experience and a defining characteristic of the future of cities. Urban boosters often depict their future as filled with boundless opportunities. But for most cities, the future also has the potential to deal a wild card that can undermine the raison d’e ˆtre of a par- ticular agglomeration. How such challenges are addressed makes the difference between either accomplishing urban regeneration that enables the better future promised by the boosters or watching the forces of change generate urban decline that can lead to decay or collapse and abandonment. This special issue of The Journal of Urban Technology explores how the world’s more affluent cities could respond to major disruptions in energy supply and global climate change by pursuing changes that would lead to regener- ation. Such a struggle to adapt cities to a changing world provides a window on the dynamics of urban paradigm change. The contributors
