How have such spaces been transformed during the geohistory of capitalism? This volume brings together texts collaboratively produced by three researchers in the Urban Theory Lab to address these questions. Planetary urbanization is understood here not only with reference to the global expansion and proliferation of cities, but as an evolving web of metabolic relations between cities and the diverse operational landscapes that support them across the earth. Through studies of operational landscapes in various regions of the world and critical analyses of inherited approaches to urban theory, the authors portray capitalist urbanization as a metabolic monstrosity that degrades the biospheric foundations of both human and nonhuman life. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eConceptualizes planetary urbanization as a thickening web of relations between cities and operational landscapes \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCritically evaluates and updates urban theory in relation to contemporary planetary environmental transformations and crises \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyzes the essential role of mining, agriculture, and logistics in the dynamics of capitalist urbanization \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eNeil Brenner ist Lucy Flower Professor für Stadtsoziologie, Vorsitzender des Ausschusses für Umwelt, Geografie und Urbanisierung (CEGU) und Leiter des Urban Theory Lab der University of Chicago. 2014 erschien das von ihm herausgegebene Buch \u003cem\u003eImplosions\/Explosions: Towards a Study of Planetary Urbanization\u003c\/em\u003e im JOVIS Verlag. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Swarnabh Ghosh ist Doktorand an der Harvard University und arbeitet an der Konvergenz von kritischer Geografie und Umweltgeschichte.
