What do we mean when we say that cities have altered humanity's interaction with nature? The more people are living in cities, the more nature is said to be "e;urbanizing"e;: turned into a resource, mobilized over long distances, controlled, transformed and then striking back with a vengeance as "e;natural disaster"e;. Confronting insights derived from Environmental History, Science and Technology Studies or Political Ecology, Urbanizing Nature aims to counter teleological perspectives on the birth of modern "e;urban nature"e; as a uniform and linear process, showing how new technological schemes, new actors and new definitions of nature emerged in cities from the sixteenth to the twentieth century.
