Through a combination of social theory, polemic and close attention to empirical detail, author Nigel Thrift demonstrates how and why cities cause mass animal death and hasten the destruction of the planet. The book then attempts to set out how ′we′ can navigate out of the current situation and towards a world in which cities no longer act as killers but become aligned with the lives of other beings.
