In this episode, I talk to Isabelle Anguelovski (Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability) and James Connolly (University of British Columbia), editors of the book The Green City and Social Injustice,
21 tales from North America and Europe that came out in 2022. The book offers in-depth insights into greening efforts in 21 European and North American cities, and serves as the basis for our discussion about environmental justice in cities.
