Recomposing an Urban Forest in Mumbai
What happens to urban landscapes when a species disappears? This paper explores how an urban forest with a long legacy as sacred territory was recomposed – that is, imbued with new narratives of purpose, meaning and value – in the aftermath of the near-extinction of Gyps vultures across India. Its focus is the social processes that galvanised in response to catastrophic vulture loss, and emergent environmental alliances whose mission served to re…
Ecologies, One and All
This essay considers ecology in its singular and plural forms. Although Western science, with singular ecology as one of its many descendants, leaves an undeniable imprint, the essay aims to ask whether the contemporary, lived life of ecological science as postpositivist practice might be working in ways that, while imperfect, may be more legible and shared with scholars in the environmental humanities than is usually noted. It describes the know…
Death and Life of Nature in Asian Cities
Death and Life of Nature in Asian Cities
In an urban world, how does nature come to life? How does it wither and die? In this third volume on the ecologies of urbanism in Asia, authors bring questions about ecological vitality into conversation with the everyday human experiences that shape the form and meaning of urban nature. Such a conversation reaches beyond the question of what “counts” as urban nature in a given time and place, and invites us to think through the many nested scale…

Places of Nature in Ecologies of Urbanism
Urban Political Ecology
As urban environments transform across the globe, debates over urban nature and its future forms have introduced important critical questions. How, for instance, do we study emergent, dynamic configurations of nature and culture in cities? How do we conceptualize the city as a field site when urbanization encompasses the full spatial continuum from city to countryside? How do we understand the place of history in an environmental era often catego…
Housing in the Urban Age: Inequality and Aspiration in Mumbai
In scholarly and popular texts, Mumbai is invoked as an iconic example of the problem of urban informal settlements in the twenty-first century. While such representations oscillate between tropes of accommodation and marginalization, they often obfuscate the compromised and historical successes of settler politics in the city. In this paper, the authors use an international urbanization conference as a starting point for exploring Mumbai settler…

When Is Housing an Environmental Problem? Reforming Informality in Kathmandu
Drawing on fieldwork among environmental activists and housing advocates in one of South Asia's fastest-growing cities-and the capital of one of the world's most politically volatile nation-states-this article explores how and when specific forms of urban housing were problematized and reformed through environmental logics. I ask when and how housing was framed as an environmental problem in Kathmandu. In so doing, I demonstrate that a fuller und…
Farewell to the Bagmati Civilisation: Losing Riverscape and Nation in Kathmandu
The Kathmandu reaches of the Bagmati River are widely characterised as severely degraded. This article explores the rhetorical life and death of the concept of a ‘Bagmati civilisation’: a particular configuration of history, cultural identity and river ecology espoused by a prominent Nepali river restorationist. Following the 2001 imposition of a state of emergency in Nepal, the architect of the Bagmati civilisation idea declared that the civilis…
