Dr. Oberg is an urban environmental planner whose work aims to make cities more livable and sustainable. Using the concepts of urban metabolism, Angie’s work investigates how the everyday lives of urban residents shape, and are shaped by, urban political ecologies. In particular, she studies the urban political ecology of sewage and how climate risk is creating new biophysical, social, and infrastructural vulnerabilities.
