The Political Ecology of Cities (Interview with Erik Swyngedouw - Uni Manchester) - CMP ep.43
Channel: Metabolism of Cities
Date: 2022-02-09

📺 Welcome to the 43rd episode of the Circular Metabolism Podcast: The Political Ecology of Cities with Prof. Erik Swyngedouw 📺.

🌎 On today’s episode we will talk about some original topics we have not yet covered that much. We will talk about the metabolic, the cyborg and the post-political city. For this we will have to provide some urban political ecology and critical/Marxist geography foundations. 

🎓  To talk about these topics I have Erik Swyngedouw, Professor of Geography at the University of Manchester. He has written numerous academic articles and books including “In the Nature of Cities – Urban Political Ecology and the Politics of Urban Metabolism” which he co-edited with Nik Heynen and Maria Kaika.
