Environment Narratives and Sustainable Urbanism
We are living in a period characterised by escalating effects of climate change, intense urbanisation and environmental degradation. This multi-track interdisciplinary project seeks to respond to these overlapping contexts, and explore the complex human-environment-urban relations and sustainable urban solutions. In drawing material, cultural and technological narratives into conversation, it asks: how might various modes of environmental narratives intract and co-shape the futures of cities? What kind of possibilities of world-making might open up if we foreground a more-than-human perspective to rethink shared responsibilities in a climate-changing world? What alternative possibilities may be opened up through a kind of “sustainable becoming” grounded in ecological practices (Braidotti, 2006)?
