The unprecedented urban challenges arising from rapid population growth, accompanied by resource depletion,  social insecurity, and climate anomaly, transcend the traditional boundaries of vulnerable local communities, significantly affecting the extensive global socioeconomic and ecological geographies. These interrelated social, political, and environmental threats call for strategic and adaptive responses to a shifting epistemology of urbanization and environmentalization. It is therefore imperative to critically reassess, reimagine, and reconfigure the intricate relationships between humans and changing environments, advancing solutions that empower our communities to not only endure but to thrive.
