요약This dissertation project draws on two years of multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in India and the UAE to critically examine how the changing built environment of city-regions in India intersects with wider circuits of transnational migration, capital investment, and resource extraction in the climate change era. The starting point for my research is Kochi, the largest city in the south Indian State of Kerala, and one that has been experiencing an acceleration in the construction of "world-class" infrastructures over the last two decades. Beginning from a single infrastructure construction site, I deployed a "follow the thing" methodology to trace the translocal networks of money, materials, and labor that are producing new roads, flyovers, malls, and condominiums in Kochi. This methodological approach took me to real estate expos in Dubai, UAE, sand extraction sites in the ecologically sensitive Western Ghat mountains of south India, and migrant worker camps in Kochi's peripheries. There is rich literature examining the circuits of finance and expertise that connect aspiring "world cities" of the Global South through the concept of "worlding", showing how they inter-reference and compete with one another to attract transnational capital for infrastructure projects. In contrast, my work starts from the mundane built environment of one such infrastructure project to develop a more complex set of social and environmental relationalities that link Kochi's rapid transformation to wider geographies and longer histories in uneven and contradictory ways. My work draws attention to emerging remittance investment patterns and discreet plantation logics in Kochi's urban landscape that have long connected Indian cities to other parts of the Indian Ocean rim much before the advent of neoliberal globalization. My dissertation offers a postcolonial decentering of economic geography and global urban studies by situating uneven urban development and environmental injustice in India within the diverse cultures of the Indian Ocean world.
