South Asian Urban Climates is a platform for discussion, collaboration, and emerging scholarship on the histories, power structures, and material assemblages that make up the climate in and across South Asian cities. We are a transnational and interdisciplinary community of scholars, educators, filmmakers, and other practitioners looking closely and critically at the intersections of climate, politics, and urbanism in South Asia.
