i*Tn% arl Abbott, who has taught urban stud-
Oi
.W’
ies and urban planning in five decades,
brings together urban studies and literary
studies to examine how fictional cities in work
by authors as different as E. M. Forster, Isaac
Asimov, Kim Stanley Robinson, and China
Mieville might help us to envision an urban
future that is viable and resilient. Imagining
Urban Futures is a remarkable treatise on what
[is best and strongest in urban theory and prac-
jtice today, as refracted and intensely imagined
in science fiction. As the human population
grows, we can envision an increasingly urban
society. Shifting weather patterns, rising sea
levels, reduced access to resources, and a host
of other issues will radically impact urban
environments, while technology holds out the
dream of cities beyond Earth. Abbott delivers
a compelling critical discussion of science fic-
tion cities found in literary works, television
programs, and films of many eras, ranging
from Metropolis to Blade Runner and Soylent
Green to The Hunger Games.
