If twenty-first-century urbanization is understood as a problem,
its regional epicenter is the cities in Asia. Facing unprecedented
diversity in scale, scope, and environmental dynamics in the Asian
urban experience, scholars will need an approach that can truly
capture the significance of place and context. The challenge, as
this volume illustrates, can be met by the analytic of ecologies of
urbanism. Eschewing a rigid, single ecology, the contributors
identify multiple forms of nature-in biophysical, cultural, and
political terms-that have discernable impact on power relations and
human social action. The case studies in this book-including
leopards in Mumbai, a network of tubewells in northern India, an
island that grows through reclamation in Hong Kong, and a railway
continuum linking Khon Kaen and Bangkok-all attest to the
versatility of ecologies of urbanism. Guided by urban processes
rather than geopolitical boundaries, Places of Nature in Ecologies
of Urbanism offers a picture of urban Asia that is composed of
varied ecologies of urbanism.
