Michael ChieffaloMichael Chieffalo is a doctoral student, architect, and former planning commissioner. His current research engages with processes of agrarian urbanization; socio-environmental dimensions of factory farming; the diverse built environments of industria agriculture; and the relation between geographies of industrial agriculture and processes of planetary urbanization. This bundled set of concerns is explored using historic and comparative analysis in service of critically analyzing how organizational rationales and spatial patterning of cities and zones of agricultural production evolve over time and in different political-economic contexts. He is finally interested in how human-animal relations have been understood, and species composition in cities been transformed, over time through the industrialization of livestock production.
