English | ISBN: 0262550938 | 2024 | 280 pages | True EPUB | 12 MB

An exploration of the multifaceted urban environmental issues in Singapore through a more-than-human lens, calling for new ways to think of and story cities.

As climate change accelerates and urbanization intensifies, our need for more sustainable and livable cities has never been more urgent. Yet, the imaginary of a flourishing urban ecofuture is often driven by a specific version of sustainability that is tied to both high-tech futurism and persistent economic growth. What kinds of sustainable futures are we calling forth, and at what and whose expense? In Reimagining the More-Than-Human City,Jamie Wang attempts to answer these questions by critically examining the sociocultural, political, ethical, and affective facets of human-environment dynamics in the urban nexus, with a geographic focus on Singapore.

Widely considered a model for the future of urbanism and an emblematic new world city, Singapore, Wang contends, is a fascinating site to explore how modernist sustainable urbanism is imagined and put into practice. Drawing on field research, this book explores distinct and intrarelated urban imaginaries situated in various sites, from the futuristic, authoritarian Supertree Grove, positioned as a technologically sustainable solution to a velocity-charged and singular urban transportation system, to highly protected nature reserves and to the cemeteries, where graves and memories continue to be exhumed and erased to make way for development. Wang also attends to more contingent yet hopeful alternatives that aim to reconfigure current urban approaches. In the face of growing enthusiasm for building high-tech, sustainable, and “natural” cities, Wang ultimately argues that urban imaginings must create space for a more relational understanding of urban environments.

对新加坡城市环境问题的多维探索，通过非人类视角提出新的思考和叙述城市的途径。 随着气候变化加速和城市化不断加深，我们需要可持续且宜居的城市比以往任何时候都更加迫切。然而，对繁荣城市生态未来的想象往往基于一种特定的可持续性版本，这种版本与高技术未来主义和持续的经济增长紧密相连。我们呼唤什么样的可持续未来？以及为此付出什么代价？在《重塑非人类之城》一书中，Jamie Wang试图通过批判性地审视城市领域中人类与环境互动的社会文化、政治、伦理和情感方面来回答这些问题，并将关注点集中在新加坡。 普遍被认为是城市主义未来的典范和新世界的象征城市，王认为新加坡是一个探索现代可持续城市想象及其实践的有趣地点。该书结合了田野调查的方法，探讨了一系列不同的、相互关联的城市想象力，从未来主义且 authoritarian 的 Supertree 森林，作为应对快速城市交通系统的技术性可持续解决方案；到高度保护的自然保护区以及墓地，这些地方中的尸体和记忆被挖出和抹去以腾出发展空间。王还关注到了一些更具条件性和希望性的替代方案，旨在重新配置当前的城市方法。在越来越多的人对建设高科技、可持续且“自然”城市充满热情的情况下，王最终认为，城市的想象必须为更关系性地理解城市环境留出空间。
