Anne Rademacher (M.E.S., Ph.D., Yale University) is an urban ecologist and ethnographer. Her research and teaching trace the social life of urban environmental change: its scientific contours, sociocultural dynamics, and role in political transformation. Her work has addressed urban riverscapes, migration and urban housing rights, urban open spaces, and the social and material practices of environmental architecture. Anne is the co-convenor of the Ecologies of Urbanism Network, which brings together environmental researchers and practitioners of urban environmental transformation in the cities of Asia, and founder of the NYU Urban Greening Lab, an interdisciplinary teaching and research consortium based in New York. Anne’s most recent books are Death and Life of Nature in Asian Cities, and Building Green: Environmental Architects and the Struggle for Sustainability in Mumbai.
