PRAISE FOR JC
'Moving and beautiful' - Robert MacFarlane
'A nuanced invitation to see the city as a place of wild co-existence and possibility.' OLIVIA LAING
'Meticulously researched and elegantly written' VICTORIA BENNETT
While it's easy to think of the city as a human domain - a place that belongs to us alone - the reality is that nature is always present, always finding ways to thrive, even in the most unexpected places.
From the remarkable adaptation of birds to the fearless resilience of mammals, there are stories from across the globe that attest to the growing realisation that nature is abundant in our cities - and it is time to discover a new way of living with it.
Through her experience of cities, from London to Nairobi, San Francisco to New Delhi, anthropologist JC Niala is perfectly placed to offer a luminous exploration of city life - and ask what it means to live with nature rather than simply in it.
Combining memoir, social history, and cultural commentary, JC celebrates nature in our cities and, by doing so, offers a powerful vision of the future where we can all belong.
