Urban political ecologies of housing decarbonisation : Towards radical housing repair
(2025) In Progress in Human Geography- Abstract
Housing has a rich and decades-long body of scholarship, yet geographers have only recently begun to dissect environmental and power relations in/through the home, an urgent task due to growing carbon reduction and energy efficiency targets at the heart of climate-related housing action. This paper elaborates four interconnected conceptual pathways to unpack the uneven socionatural power relations unfolding through nature’s urbanisation in housing decarbonisation. I bring these pathways together to articulate political ecologies of radical housing repair, a proposal that takes seriously situated lived realities within structurally embedded housing inequalities towards more just housing decarbonisation in theory, policy and practice.
