DESCRIPTION:The accelerating impacts of global warming render planetary u
 rbanisation lenses particularly compelling for analysing how municipal c
 limate strategies produce effects extending into rural hinterlands and r
 egional territories. Municipal climate strategies are increasingly deplo
 yed as critical policy instruments in response to climate crises. Yet co
 ntemporary scholarship reveals a significant blind spot: whilst extensiv
 e research examines municipal climate governance\, few investigations ex
 amine how these strategies reshape territorial urbanisation patterns bey
 ond municipal administrative boundaries.\n\nTo what extent do municipal 
 climate strategies produce new patterns of extended urbanisation?\n\nTo 
 examine the municipal climate strategies beyond administrative boundarie
 s\, the concept of extended urbanisation provides a compelling theoretic
 al entry point. In Brenner and Schmid’s dialectical formulation\, extend
 ed urbanisation encompasses transformations in territories located far b
 eyond densely populated centres\, designed to support everyday functions
  and socio?economic dynamics of urban agglomerations.\n\nMarco Palma is 
 a researcher at the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerla
 nd. His primary research interests focus on the social dimensions of the
  climate crisis\, with particular emphasis on the role of institutional 
 actors\, corporations\, and social movements in shaping the political ag
 enda in the era of global warming. Marco’s work investigates how local g
 overnance processes\, urbanisation dynamics\, and the production of urba
 n space intersect with climate action and environmental policymaking.
