Can Cities be sustainble at all? Inaugural Lecture of PD Dr. Luis Instroza
While the urban era is fully determining our lives, as it was announced by Lefebvre in the early 70's, we continue experiencing increasing challenges to conceptualize, analyze, and measure cities and their impacts. The conceptual apparatus we inherited from theoretical and applied disciplines to deal with the urban question seems overcome by the paramount challenges posed by planetary urbanization, the ecological crises and climate change. However, at the beginning of the XXI century our urban challenge remains more epistemological than operational. Can urban ecology help in reshaping our understanding of urban systems, guiding us in a process tolearn to live with uncertainty and dynamic ever-changing urban challenges?
