"Lundberg's book begins with a bike ride—a tour de force, not a pootle...with stunning insights and exhilarating theoretical switchbacks that leave us with a better appreciation of the harms of rapid urbanization. Her exquisite detail and effortless writing render us breathless…." - Avi Brisman, author of Climate Change as a Crisis of Imagination"So many of the harms of city life have become so completely normalised that they fall under our radar. Lundberg rattles us out of our slumber by providing a blistering critique of the structural forces that bake in urban inequality. A clarion call for new urban imaginaries needed right now." - David Bissell, author of Transit Life: How Commuting is Transforming Our Cities"This book is essential reading for green and urban criminologists, as well as for anyone interested in urban life and sustainability in the context of an urgent and worsening climate crisis." - Anna Di Ronco, Department of Legal Studies, University of Bologna, Italy
