Research project at Urban Resource Centre in Karachi: Documenting flyovers and underpasses

Active

Description

Research takes urban roads as the primary frame to examine the politics of infrastructure and inhabitation in Karachi, Pakistan. It brings together scholarship on infrastructure, inhabitation, and more-than-human geography. The focus attends to liminal forms of human and non-human inhabitations that are sutured in relation to roads and those violently unmade to further roads. It examines governance practices and lived realities that produce roads as sites of tensions and encounters shaped by social categories of class and gender.
