This book explores the dynamics of urban development, food culture, and class in Bengaluru, India. It examines how rising temperatures and rapid urbanization impact the city's livability, particularly for middle-class residents. The author, Camille Frazier, delves into urban agriculture as a response to these changes, highlighting how it serves as an intervention by urban professionals seeking alternative food production methods. Through ethnographic research, the book addresses the politics of language and naming in the city's identity, reflecting on the historical and contemporary implications of its dual names, Bengaluru and Bangalore. It aims to provide insights into the challenges and possibilities of urban living in a rapidly changing environment, appealing to scholars and individuals interested in urban studies, cultural geography, and social change.
