Description:This book advances our understanding of settings, audiences, teaching approaches and goals of urban environmental education. The authors of this book hope that it will help educators in the U.S. and elsewhere to reflect on their own work, and inspire new ideas to improve their educational programs.This book shows that urban environmental education may contribute to both ecological and social dimensions of sustainability. On the one hand, urban environmental education is trying to develop urban residents’ knowledge and community capacity to move towards cities that can be described as eco-efficient, zero-waste, carbon-neutral, biophilic, pedestrian-friendly, and resilient in face of climate change. On the other hand, urban environmental education also cares about positive youth development and human development in general, social capital, human equality, community participation in democraticenvironmental governance, social and environmental justice, generating new approaches to environmental governance, developing ecological identity, compassionate connection to urban places, and healthy lifestyles.This book covers a range of relevant topics, but not all of them. For example, we do not emphasize enough adult environmental education in urban communities and industrial facilities; urban sustainability and resilience; urban environmental art such as filmmaking, installations, and murals; education related to environmental activism in cities; inclusion and diversity issues; urban environmental education related to community health and nutrition; andstrategies for the integration of environmental education in urban environmental planning. The list of possible topics is always growing.Urban environmental education is a very complex and exciting field. We encourage you to continue to explore and advance it by learning from publications in related fields, by visiting environmental education programs in different cities, and by exchanging ideas with other educators.Additional authors: Philip Silva, Rebecca Ressl, Robert Hughes, Robert Withrow-Clark, Sam Janis, Sunny Corrao, Susan Baron, Timothy Goodale, Tom O'Dowd, Twila Simmons-Walker, & Vivian Masters.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
