Funded Activity Summary

Animals and urban planning: Indian cities as Zoöpolises. This project aims to examine the everyday realities of selected wild, commensal, and commoditised species living close to humans in six ecologically diverse, rapidly growing, medium-sized cities in India. India’s rapid urbanisation and declining biodiversity have critical global implications, but the complex social dimensions of Indian urban biodiversity are overlooked in current planning. Archival and empirical methods will be utilised, with outcomes expected to generate new insights into the complex social dimensions of Indian urban biodiversity for global and state urban and biodiversity policies. This will offer an expanded empirical basis for planning that sustains urban biodiversity in cities of the future.
