Very happy to have a piece on public lands in the new issue on Socialism in the City; very important to connect movement goals across these spaces! https://t.co/ofFIn4i0Ka (will be unpaywalled at some point; pls contact me for PDF)

journalists like @thatsMohrlikeit@AdamLMahoney get it - but very (very) few scholars are thinking about such connections between urban cores and peripheries, and the centrality of justice and affordability, to what we think of as "sustainability"
I never post here anymore but LA's fires compel me to highlight this 2024 @PNASNews article w M. Greenberg about hsg, wildfire, and WUI growth in CA. Hsg crisis + climate change will mean more of these horrors, for ppl much less able to cope with them. https://t.co/8d70Rn4Ly8
but we expect this pattern to change as we see more "affordability migrants" (rather than amenity migrants) exposed to wildfier and other environmental hazards on urban peripheries in the coming years.

NEW: In this week’s essay, @jmijincha breaks down the “just” transition, tracing its origins, misuse & meanings.
"Advancing a just transition is transformational — moving from a world built around extraction to one built around regeneration & care.”
