Many cities worldwide are immersed in parallel processes of destroying and revaluing urban nature, creating oases or islands of green amidst deserts of asphalt and concrete. Often associated with the “urban green”, some aspects of urban nature have been recognized and promoted as beneficial to the health of certain city dwellers, both human and nonhuman. However, this approach marginalises emerging and established natures that are not typically considered beneficial in bringing together urban nature and human health. This raises fundamental questions for cities in simultaneous processes of de-greening/de-animalization and greening for public health: what is the urban nature that these programs refer to? And what natures, on the contrary, are seen as irrelevant or as obstacles to the pursuit of urban health? Building on our work on people-street dog socio-ecologies in India (ROH-Indies) and wider scholarship on the politics of urban greening, this workshop will seek to put into conversation novel research studies and methodological approaches that focus on nonhuman life overlooked or suppressed in these new health-oriented urban ecologies. As residents of our cities, it is these “unintentional natures” that can help us rethink what healthy urban natures might look like beyond anthropocentric conceptualisations, offering us opportunities to learn what it means to live and cohabit with non-human others in multispecies societies. This workshop aims to delve into the diverse perspectives necessary to make visible the human, socio-ecological, and animal dimensions of making particular visions of both “nature” and “healthy” coincide (or not) in present-day urban environments.
