Environment and Urbanization
Abstract
While sociologists have long recognized the biophysical dimensions of city life and urbanization (e.g., Catton, 1980), this discussion had been overshadowed by a concern with environmental change in rural areas. In the past two decades, however, attention has shifted; there have been several theoretical and empirical studies examining the links between urbanization, city life, and the natural environment (e.g., Čapek, 2010; Chew, 2001; Clement, 2010; Elliott and Clement, 2014; Elliott and Frickel, 2013; Ergas, 2010; Jorgenson, Rice, and Clark, 2010; McKinney, 2013; Taylor, 2009; Weinberg, Pellow, and Schnaiberg, 2000; Wachsmuth, 2012). In this research, there are two broad scopes for analysis, one that sees urbanization and cities as drivers of environmental change and another that sees cities as sites of environmental change. While the latter has a much longer lineage in sociology, we dedicate more space to review the former scope. Nevertheless, we also recognize that recent scholarship is arguing for a middle ground that synthesizes the two scopes; in this way, cities are seen as sites and drivers of environmental change (e.g., Elliott and Frickel, 2013; Wachsmuth, 2012).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
