Spatial products & intersectionality during climate change

AA Public Programme

How will incentivised urbanism as a corporate strategy impact on socio-political movements for climate justice? 


<p>The capitalist world system matrix is a zone of incentivised urbanism, lubricated economic conditions, political exclusion and ecological dissent. Urban multipliers within that system, such as special economic zones, mutate the temporality of cities, terrains and landscapes. These projects dramatically alter habitats, human and non-human migration patterns, topography and landscape. Climate change and the pandemic have completely transformed geopolitics, revealing these programmes to be inefficient hybrids of vernacular and smart infrastructures. In our collective fight against the crisis, can urban multipliers act as points of critical climate resilience? What can we learn from the impact of incentivised urbanism on political movements for climate justice?</p><p>Keller Easterling is an American architect, urbanist, writer, and professor at Yale University.
