Uneven coastal geographies: Sea level rise and contested urban future-making in Bangkok

In: Conflicts in urban future-making: Governance, institutions, and transformative change, Editors: Monika Grubbauer, Alessandra Manganelli, Louis Volont

Pohl focuses on the built environment as a political factor for framing and shaping uneven urban futures in sinking cities, with Bangkok, Thailand, as a case. He traces the multilayered challenges and potentials posed by the political transformation of urban spaces in response to rising sea levels. While rising waters may exacerbate existing inequalities, they also present an opportunity to rethink urban spaces as sites for egalitarian co-design and production.
