Objective
The international and interdisciplinary seminar «Urban Emergencies: Human-Made Ecologies in the Face of Change», side event of 18th International DOCOMOMO Conference 2024, aims to bring together experts and professionals from various fields, including urban planning and architecture, botany and soil studies, to discuss, analyse and propose innovative and sustainable solutions to contemporary urban challenges, focusing on three axes related to climate change: soil, urban vegetation and sustainable urbanism. This event seeks to foster an exchange of knowledge and experiences on the sustainable management of urban land, the integration and role of vegetation in mitigating and adapting to climate change, and the principles of sustainable urbanism that promote resilient and liveable cities. Through debates, workshops, and presentations, the aim is to generate a collaborative platform that promotes implementing resilient and sustainable strategies in our cities.
