\nThe Politics of Green Spaces in Karachi: Aesthetics, Urban, and Political Ecology
\nMy research examines the politics of green spaces, focusing on how the distribution and quality of urban greenery are shaped by governance, planning decisions, and socio-economic inequalities. The project aims to investigate who benefits from green spaces and who is excluded. It also highlights a divide in knowledge about plants, where activists and environmentalists often present differing interpretations of ecological value, creating inconsistencies in understanding.<\/p>\n
This gap signals the need to bridge scientific, activist, and local perspectives. Additionally, the research explores how plants and greenery are sometimes used as performative tools\u2014rather than meaningful ecological ones. The purpose is to expose these dynamics, promote inclusive knowledge, and support informed urban planning. Expected findings reveal both structural inequalities and contested meanings of green spaces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
