In this episode from the New Books Network podcast, Kristin Poling is interviewed on her recent book, Germany’s Urban Frontiers: Nature and History on the Edge of the Nineteenth-Century City.
This book explores the experience of environmental architects in Mumbai, one of the world’s most populous and population-dense urban areas and a city iconic for its massive informal settlements, extreme wealth asymmetries, and ecological stresses.
