Overview
Reporting on the innovative, trans-disciplinary research on sustainable urbanisation being undertaken by Mistra Urban Futures (MUF), a highly influential research centre based in Sweden, this book builds on the Policy Press title Rethinking Sustainable Cities to make a significant contribution to evolving theory about comparative urban research. Highlighting important methodological experiences from across a variety of diverse contexts in Africa and Europe, this book surveys key experiences and summarises lessons learned from the MUF's global research platforms. It demonstrates best practice for developing and deploying different forms of trans-disciplinary co-production, covering topics including neighbourhood transformation and housing justice, sustainable urban and transport development, urban food security and cultural heritage.

This book provides a compelling and detailed example of how more encompassing accounts of urban sustainability might be co-produced across disciplines and places through comparative methodologies and methods. Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography
