I published a review of Jamie Wang’s MIT Press monograph Reimagining the More-Than-Human City: Stories from Singapore on the LSE Review of Books website. In the book, Jamie provides a thick description of the eco-modernist approach to urban development that the Singaporean government has honed over the last 60 years. She critiques the singular promotion of economic growth and high-tech capitalism that is rapidly pushing out Singapore’s rich history and culture. Her more-than-human approach calls for a broadening of sustainable urban development to support and celebrate the multitude of relations between humans and non-humans. This is an insightful and thought-provoking book.
