Government by experiment? Global cities and the governing of climate change (2013)
Journal Article
Bulkeley, H., & Castán Broto, V. (2013). Government by experiment? Global cities and the governing of climate change. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 38(3), 361-375. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-5661.2012.00535.x

Central to the exercise of government in... Read More about Government by experiment? Global cities and the governing of climate change.

Could parental rules play a role in the association between short sleep and obesity in young children? (2013)
Journal Article
