Globalization, Urbanization, and Sustainability: What Can We Do? provides students with an introduction to the multifaceted nature of civilization and its impact on our environment. The text explores the intricate interplay between globalization, urbanization, and sustainability, and examines the environmental and health impacts of modern society, including climate change, resource consumption, and waste.

The book's nine chapters focus on a distinct aspect of globalization, urbanization, and sustainability, including historical perspectives on urbanism and trade, economic fundamentals of global capitalism, world financial and trade institutions, demography, poverty and economic development, public health, and steps individuals can take to preserve our world and act as good stewards of the earth.

Designed to foster a critical awareness of the costs associated with modern systems of production and inspire sustainable solutions, Globalization, Urbanization, and Sustainability is an exceptional resource for courses and programs in environmental studies, urban planning, international studies, economics, public health and sustainability.
