URBAN NATURE MATTERS
Nagendra’s account of Bengaluru’s lakes reveals the paradox of urban nature, sites of rich biodiversity and community life, yet deeply entangled in neglect and inequality. As commons become commodified and ecological care shifts to elite-led movements, the book urges us to question whose nature is being restored, and at what cost, while holding on to the fragile possibility of more just urban futures. It is a compelling read for city dwellers.
