Abstract
ABSTRACT Humans have never been the only animals to live in cities and, as the world becomes ever more urbanized, the number and array of animal species in the urban setting are only increasing. This review essay provides a summary of extant research on human/animal interactions in cities. Four broad themes are discussed and outstanding research questions posed: (1) blurred boundaries and the intersectionality between human and nonhuman animals; (2) voice, power, politics and the right to the city; (3) animals and the fabric of urban space; and (4) human and nonhuman systems and collective welfare. The essay serves as a starting point for an ongoing conversation about how urban affairs scholars can better accommodate the other animals sharing the urban world in their research and applied work.
