The firms produced promotional images of a post-conflict tabula rasa waiting to be rebuilt by foreign investors as an urban solution to climate change. However, to make this marketing image real, much of the actual city would need to be destroyed and its residents converted into consumers of green housing and service delivery systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKigali\u003c\/em\u003e is an ethnography of a city that is being destroyed so that it can be rebuilt for the end of the world. Drawing on years of ethnographic fieldwork with Kigali residents as they navigate the catastrophes induced by sustainable urbanism, this book offers a searing critique of capitalist solutions to climate change and an account of the city's popular alternatives to sustainable urbanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871408443628,"sku":"9780520409972","price":124.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7320053482373.jpg?v=1759878893"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/samuel-shearer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
