ROGER KEIL in conversation with Tom Rawson
Roger Keil is a professor in the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University in Toronto, and a leading scholar in the field of Urban Political Ecology. His research articles on “contested infrastructures” and “reconnecting the disconnected” among many others, along with his book Suburban Planet: Making the world Urban from the Outside In, throw a spotlight on the processes of suburbanisation as a #transformation driver of how we live and work in our large city regions. His work encourages us to explore the diversity of suburban forms worldwide, as well as the historical contexts, governance and infrastructures which help shape them.
