One day workshop leading into a holistic interdisciplinary discussion of urban vulnerable territories in Latin American in the Caribbean (LAC), aiming to envision a regional vision and an urge for a systemic change. Through analyzing common challenges in the LAC region: migration, climate, and urban inequality, we will examine specific cases and recent programs such as: the urbanization program of informal neighborhoods in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina; the Blocks of Care, in Bogotá, Colombia; the Utopías, in Iztapalapa, Mexico; and the National Urban Upgrading Program, Mexico.
This workshop aims to bridge academia, think tanks and practice, leading to new utopian imaginaries for the LAC region.
