ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces the idea of nonhuman places, contributing to scholarship on place and more-than-human relations. It reviews how nonhumans have been considered in connection with place, particularly in geographical literature, to offer a foundation for conceptual development. Research directions that advance and challenge the notion of nonhuman places are also highlighted. Throughout, the chapter draws for illustrative purposes on an example of a sustainability park and urban farm: the Centre for Education and Research Strategies (CERES) in Melbourne, Australia.
