Seacoasts around the world and the seas themselves have been integral to the history of urban settlement, in the labour and economic mobilities, and intercultural exchanges they facilitated. Tidal waters and shifting coastal sands also materially constitute cities, altering their geomorphology and biodiversity constantly, thus shaping their socio-spatiality. This podcast attempts to set up a cross-disciplinary conversation on seacoasts and the urban processes they are entangled in. The first series has a geographical focus on the shoreline of Tamil Nadu, on the south eastern coast of India.
