Global urbanization promises better services, stronger economies, and more connections; it also carries risks and unforeseeable consequences. To deepen our understanding of this complex process and its importance for global sustainability, we need to build interdisciplinary knowledge around a systems approach. Urban Planet takes an integrative look at our urban environment, bringing together scholars from a diverse range of disciplines: from sociology and political science to evolutionary biology, geography, economics and engineering. It includes the perspectives of often neglected voices: architects, journalists, artists and activists. The book provides a much needed cross-scale perspective, connecting challenges and solutions on a local scale with drivers and policy frameworks on a regional and global scale. The authors argue that to overcome the major challenges we are facing, we must embark on a large-scale reinvention of how we live together, grounded in inclusiveness and sustainability. This title is also available Open Access.

What does it mean to be young in today's Europe? Across the continent, this new generation face challenging questions: Will I be able to get an education and a job? Will I have to move away from my friends and family? Will I be able to afford a home? What will happen to me if I become sick or when I grow old? Will I be able to fulfil my dreams and ambitions? The aftermath of the global financial meltdown that started in 2007 leads to increased uncertainty about the future of Europe. In most European countries, unemployment is high, and especially among the young. At the same time, many countries struggle with crippling debt and sluggish economic growth. Also, the geopolitical role of Europe is under scrutiny as new global powers and alliances emerge. The goal of Project Sea Change is to document the lives of the generation that is the immediate future of Europe. During the last two years some of the most accomplished documentary photographers in the world have gone on assignment to spend time with young people in 13 European countries.
