This Interventions essay presents 14 stories of, and positions on, urban climates in South Asia. We look analytically and linguistically from this region to engage the terms ‘mahaul’, ‘mausam’ and ‘aab-o-hawa’ as critical concepts to conceptualize climate in its political, social, historic, atmospheric, ecological, material, sensory and embodied registers. Gathered together, the stories scaffold a perspective on climate that connects concerns about broader structural conditions (mahaul); local and lived experiences in different temporal registers (mausam) and sociomaterial entanglements that demand new ways of knowing nature (aab-o-hawa). An expansive yet grounded conceptualization allows us to narrate individual cases and local climate stories in their multiplicity and difference, rather than through cumulative effects across much wider geographies. This essay on South Asian urban climates provides an analytical frame based on shared colonial history, and geographies connecting experiences of climate across fraught geopolitical borders. These diverse South Asian urbanisms provide evidence of a range of environmental vulnerabilities, while seeking possibilities in already existing climates—in the seas and airs that reorient the experience of land and atmosphere, in centering marginalized voices, in historical remnants to read contemporary urban change, in exploring planning agency grounded in local politics, and from the position of partial knowledge that being within urban climates entails.

南亚城市气候:走向多元化叙事和扩展词汇

这篇干预文章介绍了 14 个关于南亚城市气候的故事和立场。我们从该地区进行分析和语言学研究,将术语“mahaul”、“mausam”和“aab-o-hawa”作为关键概念,从政治、社会、历史、大气、生态、物质、感官和体现等方面概念化气候。寄存器。这些故事汇集在一起​​,构建了一种气候视角,将更广泛的结构条件(mahaul)的担忧联系起来;不同时间域中的当地和生活经验(mausam)和社会物质纠葛需要新的认识自然的方式(aab-o-hawa)。广泛而扎实的概念化使我们能够讲述个体案例和当地气候故事的多样性和差异性,而不是通过更广泛地域的累积效应。这篇关于南亚城市气候的文章提供了一个基于共同殖民历史和跨越地缘政治边界的气候经验的地理分析框架。这些多样化的南亚城市主义提供了一系列环境脆弱性的证据,同时在现有的气候中寻找可能性——在重新定位陆地和大气体验的海洋和空气中,在集中边缘化的声音中,在历史遗迹中解读当代城市变化,探索以地方政治为基础的规划机构,并从城市气候所需要的部分知识的立场出发。和地理将跨越令人担忧的地缘政治边界的气候经验联系起来。这些多样化的南亚城市主义提供了一系列环境脆弱性的证据,同时在现有的气候中寻找可能性——在重新定位陆地和大气体验的海洋和空气中,在集中边缘化的声音中,在历史遗迹中解读当代城市变化,探索以地方政治为基础的规划机构,并从城市气候所需要的部分知识的立场出发。和地理将跨越令人担忧的地缘政治边界的气候经验联系起来。这些多样化的南亚城市主义提供了一系列环境脆弱性的证据,同时在现有的气候中寻找可能性——在重新定位陆地和大气体验的海洋和空气中,在集中边缘化的声音中,在历史遗迹中解读当代城市变化,探索以地方政治为基础的规划机构,并从城市气候所需要的部分知识的立场出发。
