Book excerpt: Death and Life of Nature in Asian Cities explores the encounter between two processes that are unfolding in diverse patterns across Asia--the rapid urbanization of Asia across big cities, smaller towns, and the newest urban concentrations; and the contentious debates and novel schemes by which nature is figured and emplaced in cities and their conurbations.
