Abstract

This chapter reviews developments associated with globalization—among them, dramatic changes in patterns of trade and the location of economic activities—and how these developments have affected the environmental footprints of cities and states or regions in which cities are located. It also discusses ways in which urban environmental footprints can be lightened. A critical part of any successful program with such an objective involves providing new and maintaining existing urban infrastructure systems that deliver food, energy, and water to cities and facilitate interurban—hence interregional and international—trade. The chapter thus concludes with a discussion of how one might provide analytical support for managing changes in urban infrastructure systems to lighten environmental footprints of cities, their hinterlands, and more distant settlements with which they trade.
