In this episode, Sayd Randle joins us from Kathmandu, Nepal, to talk about her fascinating new book, Replumbing the City: Water Management as Climate Adaptation in Los Angeles (University of California Press, 2025). We discuss her ethnographic approach to water and the challenges and opportunities of localizing urban water supplies. She also gives us a peek at what she’s now working on halfway around the world. Read the Water Shelf book review.
Dr. Randle is Assistant Professor of Urban Studies at Singapore Management University.
