Book launch: Matthew Gandy's Natura Urbana explores constellations of urban nature from postindustrial wastelands to returning predators

The Urban Salon is delighted to host the launch of Matthew Gandy&#x27;s new book, Natura Urbana (MIT, 2022). He draws together different strands of urban ecology as well as insights derived from feminist, posthuman, and postcolonial thought to explore the “other nature” that flourishes in marginal urban spaces, at one remove from the controlled contours of metropolitan nature. This is not the poor relation of rural flora and fauna. As he notes, these islands of biodiversity underline the porosity of the distinction between urban and rural, which he explores through close attention to diverse cultures of nature at a global scale.Matthew Gandy (Cambridge) will present his book, and then the panel to discuss the book will be: Harriet Bulkeley (Durham), 
Rivke Jaffe (Amsterdam)
 and Erik Swyngedouw (Manchester)
. Phil Hubbard (King&#x27;s College, London)
 will provide a vote of congratulations and initiate the wider discussion. The chair will be 
Jennifer Robinson (UCL).The event will be held online, on Zoom, from 6pm to 7.30pm, Tuesday 3 May 2022.
