The role of imaginaries in urban climate adaptation and experimentation
About this Event
Cities concentrate climate risks and social vulnerabilities. How climate adaptation is imagined (and by whom / for whom) shapes the infrastructures, resources and policies mobilised to pursue climate-resilient futures. This talk explores how imaginative approaches can broaden the knowledge and solution space for climate adaptation in urban areas.
