Urban Book Club: Re-imagining the More-than-Human City by Jamie Wang

Our Urban Book Club is back and this time, we're exploring Singapore through a more-than-human lens. Beyond parks and skyrise greenery, urban environmental humanities researcher, writer, and poet Jamie Wang asks how our cities shape, and are shaped by, the lives of people, animals, plants and even water. Drawing on field research, this book explores distinct and intrarelated urban imaginaries situated in various sites, from the futuristic, authoritarian Supertree Grove, positioned as a technologically sustainable solution to a velocity-charged and singular urban transportation system, to highly protected nature reserves and to the cemeteries, where graves and memories continue to be exhumed and erased to make way for development. We'll be focusing on Chapter 3 but even better if you get to complete the the whole book. Regardless, you'll still be able to jump right into the conversation!
