Introduction: the scale of sustainability—the limiting universe where everything and nothing is sustainable

Abstract:

As geographers, our currency is scale. In the physical realm, our maps are defined by their scale. And in the cultural realm, the importance of a tradition or artefact also depends on its scale. In recent years, we’ve seen a focus on how sustainable, at some scale, our physical and/or cultural realms might be. One of the goals of the current edited volume, then, is to look across disciplines and see what we can understand about this geography of sustainability from a multitude of perspectives that go beyond multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary to crosscutting transdisciplinary approaches. As critical geographers, we must pay close attention to our scale and the possibilities for scaling up or down.
