Political ecology of socio-environmental change
We investigate how global urbanization and urban life are produced in and beyond the city and explore how we can rethink the co-production of space in a context of accelerated digitalization, climate emergency and increasing inequality. In particular, we inquire on (1) new urban models and design solutions to face digitalisation, climate emergency and social change; (2) algorithmic, innovation and/or experimentation driven forms of urban governance and policy; (3) the geographies of urbanization and the territorial articulation between the rural and the urban.
