To see the city through a grain of sand

In this episode, I speak with Dr Jerry Zee, Dr Ben Mendelsohn and Dr Joana Gaspardefreitas, to discuss what the prism of sand offers to the study of cities. Shifting across political economy, the environmental humanities and environmental history, we discuss deserts, dust, dunes and land extensions as they pertain to urban geographies in Beijing, Lagos and the coasts of Portugal and the UK.
