Long abstractFor some, the environmental pressures that have given birth to the Anthropocene are inextricably linked with two centu-ries of explosive urbanization. The voracious appetite of mo-dernity is nowhere better illustrated than in our “vortex cities” (McManus 2005), which suck in food, water, and energy from elsewhere in ways which tend to mystify the connec-tions between urbanized consumption of resources and the environments which support them. Likewise, the hubris of modernity is also always apparent in cities, with their infra-structures designed to dominate rather than respond and adapt to the environment—from the freeways slicing through neighborhoods and countryside to the re-engineering of riv-ers and harbors. And yet, such accounts of cities are only partial. Even as they are characterized by all sorts of environmental and so-cial problems, cities have also been fertile ground for collec-tive experiments in generating new ethical practices of relat-ing to one another and our environment. Such practices are worth reflecting upon, as they constitute a vital resource for efforts to construct better futures.
