This document discusses the relationship between postindustrial economies, personal autonomy, environmentalism, and decentralization. It argues that technological advances can increase personal and collective autonomy, but only if coupled with decentralization. Decentralization promotes self-sufficiency and minimizes societies' impacts on ecosystems. The document advocates for smaller-scale, ecologically-focused communities and neighborhoods as a more sustainable model of urban development and administration compared to centralized systems.

Urban Political Ecology
1. The document discusses the urbanization of nature and its historical development from the 19th century ideas of Marx and Engels to the present.
2. It analyzes the concepts of urban sustainability, environmental injustice, and urban political ecology. Urban political ecology views urbanization as producing socio-environmental inequalities through the commodification and control of nature.
3. The document argues that current approaches have reached an impasse and calls for re-politicizing urban political ecology by making equality and democracy the foundation for eco-political demands aimed at more just and sustainable urban environments.

Just Green Enough: Contesting Environmental Gentrification
Presentation from Park Pride's 2015 Parks and Greenspace Conference. The presenter is Winifred Curran.
As cities strive to make their urban landscapes greener, environmental gentrification is a growing concern. Improvements like parks and bike paths raise surrounding property values and housing costs, which often result in the displacement of working class residents. Learn how sustainable development can provide communities with alternative ways of thinking about economic development, resource use, and social justice.

The document summarizes the origins and key concepts of the ecological city approach. It traces the origins of the idea back to 1975 in Berkeley, California, with the founding of the Urban Ecology organization. Major developments included Richard Register's 1987 book Eco-City Berkeley which introduced the concept, and the First International Eco-City Conference in 1990. The ecological city aims to achieve a balanced, sustainable city in harmony with nature by integrating social, economic, and environmental objectives. It acknowledges ecological limits and promotes diversity, community, and fulfilling human needs within those limits.

1) The document discusses the need for a new "land ethical" approach to city design that focuses on environmental sustainability, social justice, and economic prosperity over the long term.
2) It contrasts the post-World War II suburban development model of William Levitt with the "land ethic" philosophy of Aldo Leopold, arguing Leopold's approach should instead guide modern city planning.
3) The land ethic values preserving the integrity of natural systems and considers human communities as integral parts of the larger biotic community.

This document discusses the role of "greening" or environmental stewardship activities in building resilience after disasters or conflicts. It provides examples of how tree planting, memorial gardens, and fisheries management helped communities recover from events like 9/11 and wars in Iraq. The document argues that including local communities in greening activities can help social-ecological systems withstand disturbances by providing feedback and strengthening connections between people and nature. Policymakers are encouraged to support such efforts through funding, research, and integrating greening into emergency response plans to facilitate long-term adaptation to climate change impacts.

A B S T R A C T
The Gezi Park incidents of summer 2013 in Istanbul have marked a turning point in the political life and democracy in Turkey. The peaceful environmentalist protestations in central Gezi Park have turned into a countrywide upheaval against the neo-liberal and conservative policies of the government, pouring millions of people into streets in different cities. It was a time that Turkey witnessed the formation of a new type of public sphere that encompasses a variety of counter publics, and its spatial incarnation –the Gezi Commune-, reclaimed, created, shaped and inhabited by the free will of people. This was the instant creation of oeuvre through appropriation of the urban space, and a spatial manifestation of reclaiming the right to the city. This article is a reflection on possibility of creation of oeuvre in contemporary society, and a new way of architectural thinking and practice that can pave the way for it.

This document discusses rural and urban communities. It defines a community as a social organization territorially based where members satisfy daily needs and deal with common problems. Rural communities are usually small with homogeneous culture and personal relationships, while urban communities are larger with more heterogeneity. The document then compares characteristics of rural and urban communities and discusses urban ecological processes like concentration, dispersion, and segregation that account for changes in cities.
[w3]ESD
The document discusses concepts related to ecology, urban ecology, and ecologically sustainable development (ESD). It defines ecology as the study of relationships between organisms and their environment. Urban ecology deals specifically with these relationships in urban settings. ESD aims to use resources in a way that maintains ecological processes for current and future generations. The document outlines principles of ESD, such as the precautionary principle, and approaches to integrate ESD into urban and transport planning. It provides Curitiba, Brazil as an example that implemented innovative planning strategies to promote sustainability.

Earth systems engineering (ESE) is a multidisciplinary approach that views engineering problems holistically by considering interactions between human and natural systems. ESE emerged in the late 1990s and aims to develop tools to better understand complex systems. It acknowledges that human and natural systems are interconnected but behave differently, with natural systems being nonlinear and complex while human systems follow a more predictable logic. ESE seeks to improve comprehension of these interactions and develop sustainable solutions by taking social, environmental, cultural, and economic factors into account.
Urban ecology - zach nilsson
This document discusses several topics related to urban ecology, including urban wildlife, permaculture, city farming, human ecology, genetically modified foods, ecological urbanism, urban design and planning principles, new urbanism, and urban water systems. It explores how urbanization impacts the environment and hydrologic cycle, and introduces concepts like urban permaculture and city farming that aim to counteract environmental degradation in cities. Throughout, it sheds light on effects of urbanization and strategies people are employing to address them.
Artigo ecology and sociedade
This study examines the linkages between ecosystem services and human well-being in the rural community of Sistelo in northern Portugal. The researchers used participatory methods like interviews and exercises to understand local perspectives. They found that while material well-being has increased, some ecosystem services have declined as the region's population decreases. Residents recognize provisioning, cultural, and regulating services, though feel provisioning is most important for well-being. However, well-being is disconnecting from local ecosystem services as people can now substitute services. Land abandonment risks reducing services and raises questions about future well-being and ecosystems.

Malgré le péril existentiel sans précédent auquel nous expose la poursuite du modèle de développement dominant, l’examen critique du paradigme sécuritaire inhérent aux scénarios dits « globaux » montre pourtant une incapacité structurelle à imaginer une recomposition symbiotique des interactions entre les humains et les autres vivants. Ni l’appropriation ordolibérale du globe, ni le gouvernement technoscientifique de la planète, ni le projet cosmopolitique d’édification du monde ne suffiront pour répondre aux défis de l’Anthropocène. Nous proposons d’explorer concrètement la possibilité d’une « quatrième voie », celle des politiques de la Terre.

This document discusses several frameworks for conceptualizing humanity's relationship with the Earth and the environment in the context of the Anthropocene era. It summarizes scenarios from different groups for how global socioeconomic systems and the Earth system may evolve. It argues that the dominant economic frameworks rely on an incorrect view of opposing relationships rather than complementary ones between systems and their environments. Alternative paradigms outlined include panarchy, the triumph of the commons, planetary security, and cosmobiopolitics.
AUTONOMA - Rafi Segal - Architecture of Collective Living
Technology, changing habits of living, emerging economies of sharing, have all contributed to new notions of community. Collectiveness re-appears not necessarily as a political ideology,
dictated top-down by the institution or state, but rather a voluntarily adapted sustainable - social principle, environmentally conscious and more so a means to recover a sense of belonging and human connection
within our global and technologically driven world.
My presentation will discuss two projects of contemporary collective forms of living – one set within a semi-rural (agro-urban) environment of a kibbutz in Israel and the other within the dense mid-town of NYC. Both cases combine pre-designed and self-organizing aspects within a single architectural-urban project, and reveal the role of design in envisioning alternative spatial relationships between the private and public, individual and collective space.

Engineers have a responsibility to improve lives around the world. The human population is growing exponentially and placing unprecedented demands on resources. If engineers do not help meet demands for energy, food, and infrastructure, it will be difficult to satisfy needs. Engineers must adopt a new, holistic approach that cooperates with nature instead of controlling it, in order to build a sustainable world and improve lives in an environmentally responsible way.
Slides Sustainable Urban Environments
The newly released book Sustainable Urban Environments - An Ecosystem Approach ‘helps the reader grasp opportunities for integration of knowledge and technologies in the design, construction and management of the built environment.’ In the first edition of the Delft Environment Initiative Lecture Series on 21-09-2011 several contributors to Sustainable Urban Environments discussed their views on the most pressing challenges facing us in the urban environment today and how they should be integrated in education. These are the slides accompanying the ‘elevator pitches’ they gave. http://home.tudelft.nl/en/research/environment/mini-symposium-sustainable-urban-environments/
Architecture and global ethnographies
This document discusses how architects are increasingly focusing on issues of social justice and inclusion in their work. It argues that to adequately address climate change, architecture needs to engage both locally and globally. The document examines the concept of "insurgent citizenship" and alternative practices by marginalized groups. It suggests that to respond to climate change, architects need a reflexive approach that accounts for its complex multiscalar impacts and involves diverse actors across levels of governance. Architects should draw from both ethnographic understanding of local contexts and transformative visions that avoid the failures of past utopian plans.
IARU Global Challenges 2014 Cornell Trust me I'm a sustainability scientist
This document discusses the concept of sustainability and criticisms of oversimplifying it as having only three pillars. It argues that sustainability requires meaningful engagement across knowledge systems and disciplines. The document advocates for approaches that view humanity as part of the natural system and emphasize complexity, contingency and adaptive learning over deterministic models. It calls for scientific communities to better communicate with society and support understanding of the human-earth relationship through interdisciplinary and participatory means.
Urban ecology: will we act before its too late?

Environmental ethics
The document discusses different approaches to environmental ethics and attitudes. It describes the ecosystem approach which considers interrelationships between ecosystems. It then outlines three schools of environmental ethics: anthropocentrism prioritizing human well-being, biocentrism focusing on inherent rights of all life, and ecocentrism maintaining respect for the Earth. Three environmental attitudes are also defined: development promoting human control, preservation calling for resource preservation, and conservation balancing human and environmental needs through sustainable practices.
Commons, Social Justice and environmental justice - T. Fattori (Forum Italian...
This document discusses the close link between social injustice, environmental injustice, and the privatization of natural commons. It argues that guaranteed access to natural commons like water and biodiversity is essential for meeting basic needs and upholding fundamental rights. However, the current linear development model disproportionately benefits wealthy people while harming the environment and poorer communities who depend most on natural resources. Battles over access to commons and environmental protection are thus linked to issues of social and environmental justice.
Viewing the natrual world technology, gender and environmental politics
This document discusses how technology, gender, and the environment intersect. It covers topics like greenwashing, biodegradable materials, different types of screens people interact with, how mobile technology has evolved and impacted behavior, multitasking with mobile devices, planned obsolescence, the relationship between gender and technology, and ecofeminism's perspective on humanity's connection with the natural world.
The age of industrilisation
Even before factories began to dot the landscape in England and Europe, there was a large scale industrial production for international market .
This was not based on factories . This phase of industrialization is known as proto-industrialisation . Proto industrialization means the first or earlier age of industrialization .

Ecofeminism seminar 4- Mary Phillips
This document discusses corporate environmentalism and neoliberalism, and proposes an alternative of ecofeminist care ethics. It argues that corporate environmentalism frames issues in a way that benefits corporations and elites, rather than the environment. Neoliberalism also fails to adequately address environmental damage. In contrast, ecofeminist care ethics values emotion and embodied experience, challenges human disconnection from nature, and sees care as a form of resistance against capitalist logic. An ethics of care could motivate transformative change through hope and responsibility.
Environmental + Economic Impact Analysis
This document analyzes the environmental and economic impacts of oil production in Ecuador and tourism in the Galapagos Islands. It notes that while oil production boosted Ecuador's GDP, it has led to over 30% of the Amazon being deforested or polluted. Currently, Ecuador loses $9 per barrel of oil produced. Tourism generates $418M annually for the Galapagos but increased visitors are damaging the environment and wildlife. The conclusion is that current policies prioritize short-term economic gains over long-term environmental sustainability.
Ecofeminism seminar 4- Alice Willatt
The community kitchen began in the late 2000s with the aims of addressing food poverty, fuel poverty, social isolation, and food waste. Volunteers cook a free community meal once a week using surplus food donations. The meal fosters interconnection among a diverse group of attendees, including those experiencing vulnerabilities. An ecofeminist ethic of care informs the kitchen's practices of embodied caring through food and relationship-building. The kitchen also connects volunteers to bigger issues around the unsustainable and unjust food system through educational activities and experiences with food waste collections. While small-scale, the kitchen provides care and resistance to social problems through community-building and raising awareness.
The age of industrialsaion
Before the Industrial Revolution, there was large-scale industrial production in Europe referred to as proto-industrialization. Merchants supplied money and raw materials to peasants and artisans working from home to produce goods for the international market. This helped develop the relationship between towns and countryside.
The coming of factories allowed for larger-scale, more regulated production using machines. Richard Arkwright established the first cotton mill, where costly machines could be purchased and production supervised. However, technological changes occurred slowly and new machines were not always effective. Even as late as the mid-19th century, the majority of the workforce still used traditional craft skills rather than machines.
While some industries like cotton grew rapidly in Britain in
The age of industrialisation
The Industrial Revolution was a period from the 18th to 19th century where major technological and manufacturing changes had a profound impact on economic and social conditions. It began in the United Kingdom and later spread throughout Europe, North America, and the world. The Industrial Revolution marked a major turning point in human history, with unprecedented sustained growth in average income and population. For the first time, the living standards of ordinary people began to undergo sustained growth.
Effects of industrialization ppt
Industrialization in the late 19th century led to rapid population growth in cities which overwhelmed infrastructure and living conditions. New inventions fueled increased factory production, providing many jobs but with long hours, low pay, and unsafe conditions. Workers organized unions to demand better treatment, using strikes that sometimes turned violent as companies hired replacements. Both unions and the government took steps to improve conditions, such as pushing for an eight hour work day.
Industrialization
Industries are the most important aspect of the economy as they involve the production of goods and services. There are different types of industries like agro-based, marine-based, and mineral-based industries. Creative industries, which involve activities like advertising, films, and music, account for around 45% of economic revenue. Industrialization is the process of transforming an agrarian economy into an industrial one through socio-economic changes and the application of scientific methods. It is a long-term process that involves division of labor and is accompanied by social and economic changes. Major industries in India include the sugar, iron and steel, and service industries.

Socio Economic planning Study Notes
The document discusses the concept of social ecology, which is defined as the study of the interaction between people and their environment. It provides various definitions and perspectives on social ecology from different institutions and scholars. Specifically, it examines the origins and development of social ecology at the University of Chicago in the 1920s. It also analyzes the intellectual foundations and different traditions that have influenced social ecology, such as evolutionary biology, urban sociology, and public health. The document explores how social ecologists view the environmental crisis as stemming from social hierarchies and domination within society.

Permaculture Patterning, a design framework for systemic transformation
How do we change the system(s) we live in ? By essence a system is an inherently complex web of relationships. Systems thinking researcher Donella Meadows has given us a map of leverage points to act on a system but there is no practical plan as to where to start effectively to trigger systemic change.
Interestingly around the late seventies, two systems thinkers/practitioners developed practical design frameworks for systems transformation.
The first framework, Permaculture, is an integrated approach to designing agro-ecological systems developed by ecological scientist Bill Mollison. Permaculture focussed initially on developing a resilient “permanent-agriculture” but it was expanded to stand also for "permanent culture," as it was seen that social aspects were integral to a truly sustainable system. Although it is still not widely recognized by either the scientific community or the general public, Permaculture has developed a very powerful set of analytical and design tools for whole systems transformation.
The second framework, Pattern Languages, was developed by architect Christopher Alexander to build human settlements and “living” architectural systems. If Alexander’s Pattern Language focusses on built structures, it also encompasses a social dimension. Although Alexander’s work hasn’t taken off in the architectural field it deeply inspired software programming and a growing number of disciplines.
Both frameworks share a common approach to systems design called patterning.
While design builds structures by assembling elements, patterning can be seen as a branch of design that builds systems by weaving relationships.
In this paper we look at the commonalities and differences between the two approaches, discuss how they could be used by systems thinking practitioners and propose Permaculture Patterning as a new framework for systems design and transformation.
Intelligent sustainable liveable cities
The document discusses factors that contribute to intelligent, sustainable, and livable cities. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
Letchworth Garden City in the UK and the work of planners Ebenezer Howard and Patrick Geddes are discussed as early examples of planned communities that integrated urban and rural amenities. Modern examples like Masdar City aim to be carbon and waste neutral through traditional design and advanced technologies. As urban populations grow rapidly, challenges include traffic, pollution, inequality and ensuring prosperity for future generations through sustainable planning of large cities and regions.
THEORY
This document discusses the relationship between architects, urban design, and societal control. It begins by exploring how public spaces can reflect and promote societal ideologies. The concept of "defensible space" is introduced, where space is designed to be under the control of residents. Central Park and Battery Park in New York are analyzed in terms of defensible space principles. Central Park fails to define territorial control or limit vulnerability, while Battery Park integrates surveillance and limits threats. Independence Square in Kiev is also discussed, noting how its surrounding buildings allow natural surveillance of the civic space. In summary, the document examines how design of public spaces can influence social behavior and control urban environments.
Presentation theories (1).pptx
This document provides a literature review and analysis of urban environment problems from modern and postmodern perspectives. It discusses how modernism led to issues like urban sprawl and segregated land use through master planning and prioritizing infrastructure for cars. Postmodernism aimed to address these issues through mixed-use development, but did not fully consider economic and sustainability needs. The conclusion calls for a new "post-sustainability" approach that holistically addresses the root causes of problems in a way that balances social, economic and environmental goals.

‘Army of idiots’, social media & trumpism a.k.a.: From Grassroots movements to Building global community: Self-organization & Emergence
CEUS-Editorial_published Nov2015
This editorial introduces a special issue of the journal Computers, Environment and Urban Systems focused on bottom-up computational models of urban systems. It discusses the limitations of early top-down urban simulation models and argues that a new generation of bottom-up models that capture human behavior and interactions at the micro-level are needed to better understand emergent macro patterns in cities. The special issue contains several papers that present novel agent-based and other bottom-up models exploring topics like neighborhood segregation, housing markets, spatial equilibrium, and the relationship between network connectivity and population size. The editorial argues these new bottom-up computational approaches can provide insight into the micro-foundations of human behavior that drive urban change from the bottom-up.

The document discusses the concept of regenerative design and living system design. The key points are:
1) Regenerative design aims to engage human activities in positive relationships with all life by restoring ecosystems and focusing on interrelationships rather than just minimizing impacts.
2) Living system design views places as unique, interconnected systems and recognizes that life only regenerates through exchange of energies between interrelated living entities.
3) The role of design is to create opportunities for ongoing, evolutionary relationships between people and life that inform infrastructure and buildings.

This PhD project examines the spatial expansion of the oil industry in Ecuador and resulting environmental conflicts. The student will analyze the case study of Yasuni National Park in Ecuador using a framework that views territories as complex systems of material and immaterial relationships between societies and the environment. A literature review covers topics like biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, and integrating environmental sustainability into models of local development.
Thesis book draft 2_120615
This document presents a thesis investigating opportunities for low-cost housing through modular construction and high-density communal living. The aim is to create a new housing paradigm that achieves a more economically viable, ecologically resilient, and culturally constructive typology through hyper-density. This typology could integrate within cities to offer housing for those unable to achieve traditional ownership and set precedent for a shift towards communal rather than individual housing culture. The document outlines the thesis statement and argument, relevance of addressing housing issues, and the author's personal background. It provides an abstract and table of contents, and discusses literature reviewed on topics of urbanism, housing affordability, and the need for an alternative urban model.
Towards Biourbanism by Antonio Caperna
The urban body is composed of several interconnected layers of dynamic structure, all influencing each other in a non-linear manner. This interaction results in emergent properties, which are not predictable except through a dynamical analysis of the connected whole. This approach therefore links Biourbanism to the Life Sciences

The document discusses the concepts of resilience and sustainability in urban planning. It defines resilience as a city's ability to continue functioning despite stresses or shocks, while sustainability aims to meet present needs without compromising future generations. Everyday spaces in cities contain potential for developing resilient and sustainable areas if we look beyond formal planning and consider local ways of living. Informal settlements in particular can teach valuable lessons through organic, pedestrian-friendly communities supported by public spaces for small businesses.
Ecocity PPt
The document discusses the need for achieving culture-environment parity in development planning for growing cities to maintain ecological balance. It argues that viewing development and environment/culture as mutually exclusive leads to problems. Instead, an organic city design approach is needed that incorporates cultural parameters and recognizes the city-nature continuum to minimize the environmental and cultural impacts of development. Maintaining the environmental quality curve above the "environmental breakeven of development" threshold over time despite rising development is key to sustainable development.

It argues that viewing development and environment/culture as mutually exclusive leads to problems. Instead, an organic city design approach is needed that incorporates cultural parameters and recognizes the city's relationship with natural systems. This will help minimize issues like environmental degradation and cultural shock of development by reducing the disparity between progress on development versus culture/environment.

This document discusses developing a conceptual framework and twin modeling approach to understand the complex relationships between coastal ecosystems, human livelihoods, and poverty. It involves modeling both the coastal ecosystems and human decision-making across multiple scales. The goals are to represent how social-ecological interactions produce feedbacks that impact sustainability, learn from other agent-based models, use local stakeholder knowledge, and investigate how ecosystem models can reflect dynamic social factors. The twin modeling approach involves an agent-based model of decision-making by human actors and their relationships, and a model of coastal ecosystem interrelationships and their interactions with humans.

AUTONOMA - Swati Pujari - Community Responses to the 2015 Gorakha Earthquake ...
On 25 April 2015, central Nepal was shaken by an earthquake of magnitude 7.6 which resulted in more than 8,000 causalities and more than 22,000 injuries. As with all such disasters, disproportionate negative effects towards the most marginalized groups were experienced. More than eight million lives, about one-third of the country’s population, were affected by the earthquake.
In the situation of such disaster, it was observed that the centralized government of Nepal was not prepared to deal with such a catastrophe. The statutory plans of the government were impeded by both structural and political factors. However, this disaster triggered many local citizen-led groups to activate and provide support. This paper observes the development of citizen-led groups in two historic settlements of the Kathmandu Valley – Sankhu and Bungamati, both of which were severely damaged by the earthquake. Although these citizen groups have already been formalize, their origins lie in informal self-organized actions, this paper explores the evolution of these groups and their decision making processes, and critiques them through the lens of urban governance theories.
An important factor in this paper is also the history of communal living and self-organization in the traditional settlements of Nepal guided by socio-cultural entities. Community based groups have evolved through centuries, therefore this paper studies their history and current stage, especially in the aftermaths of this major disaster. In some instances these local groups were able to find and mobilize resources and also work in collaboration with the government and other organizations, particularly UN-Habitat in Bungamati and UNESCO in Sankhu. The role of such groups in the development of collaborative governance and bottom-up decision making processes, increasing the resilience of the community and to find solutions to issues caused by the crisis, is further explored in this paper.
AUTONOMA - Guerilla Architects - Stadt:Symbiont
INITIAL STATUS
The creative industry becomes more and more a flexible working model of neoliberalism. Designers should in consequence be flexible enough to get involved with short-time jobs or precarious freelance work. But for lots of architects the self-employed work means also a dream of an independent and autonomous working, detached from authoritarian management structures. As there is no regular income it is often not possible to rent a proper office space for longer periods, cause the costs can't be covered permanently.
STADT:SYMBIONT
Stadt:Symbiont is a guideline for the autonomous creation of a central, durable and cost-effective working space in the city. Through re-interpretation of the parking regulations we adapt the space and reuse it as building site for our office.
According to german law, the parking of caravans is possible for a period of 2 weeks:
„Road traffic act (RTA) §12 Stopping and Parking
(2) Leaving your vehicle or stopping for more than 3 minutes means Stopping
(3b) Trailers without driving vehicle aren't allowed to park longer than 2 weeks. This applies to all regular marked parking areas.“
With the flexible office it is possible to tap this potential and to activate the public space. The periodic relocation enables a permanent examination of the surrounding urban space. Small-scale working space and large-scale city merge. The mobility enables to settle project-related at different locations. The strong visibility in the city and the hacking of its given infrastructure leads to a growing social network.
HACKING THE CITY
We understand the city itself as an existing network of diverse infrastructures, that everyone can use. Free Wifi, public canteens and sanitary facilities complete the Stadt:Symbiont and connect the small-scale office to the large-scale city.
AUTONOMA - Giulia Testori - Save the Comunas! They have what 'we' are strugg...
Alternative land property, autonomy in the decision-making, coproduction of space, direct democracy, safeguarding of the commons…may look like essential components of recent post-capitalist postulations. However, these characterizations have been typical features of an Ecuadorian administrative unit called comuna for more than 500 years.
During the past 50 years, the number of comunas within the Metropolitan District of Quito has been reduced by one fifth and Santa Clara de San Millan is one of the few surviving. Located on the slopes of the Pichincha Mountains could be described as a rural settlement, but simultaneously central in relation to Quito's commercial urban core.
Even if it is declared legal since 1911, it is protected by the Communes’ Law (Ley de Comuna 1937 and 2004) and it is recognized as a ‘Basic Participation Unit’ by the Ecuadorian Constitution (art. 248, 2008), Santa Clara’s existence is under threat, as its incorporation to the municipality’s jurisdiction would signify an increase of tax revenues and valuable ground for new investments.
It is here considered that instead, its very particular self-management far from top-down homogeneous urban planning, should be valorized through technical support and internal economy enforcement. Moreover, thanks to its ability to safeguard itself from contemporary issues as gentrification, market pressure on land and the totalitarian control of the State, it could become an exceptional driver of change also for other contexts of Quito.
This paper initially will retrace the history of this specific case, giving particular attention to the pillars of this organizational form, as the collaborative work of the minga and the democratic decision making of the asambleas. A second part will look at its legal framework and the pressure it is suffering and finally it considers the multiple potentialities and limits this peculiar 'administrative structure' holds vis à vis the richness that the Ecuadorian Constitution of the Buen Vivir has in store.
AUTONOMA - Orestes Kolokouris & Sofia Nikolaidou - Transition Movements in Gr...
Transition movements in cities are broadly emerging worldwide as new forms of alternative citizen-driven practices and socio-political participation addressing the raising awareness of environmental, economic, social, planning and food issues. Resistance initiatives for food and space justice discuss the growing concerns about the achievement of long-term security and resilience of food system especially in crisis contexts, about who has access and power to land or who is marginalized or excluded and how can community-based initiatives build self-reliant systems founded on ecological principles.
In Greece, the collapse of the consumption and construction-led growth after the period of economic euphoria and rapid GDP growth in the early 2000's and the consequent financial crisis that unfolded in mid-2008, have radically changed Greek society, politics and the economy. While the current depression and the dramatic humanitarian crisis have shifted politicians’ attention away from the climate and ecology, “transition and recovery movements” work hard to keep the environment on the agenda. In a time when traditional green movements and civil society actors are receding due to depression and uncertainty, alternative social movements related to urban agriculture or guerilla gardening initiatives, access to open/public space, solidarity economy, de-growth or real democracy, progress due to the crisis. In particular, initiatives that deal with issues such as urban poverty, food delocalization and environmental constraints favor the emergence of localised consumer-producer networks and spontaneous civic or pubic initiatives aiming at reintegrating agriculture into the city. In this article we focus on the development of new forms of social movements and solidarity initiatives that we consider to be part of the green ideals and could help the Greek society to get out of depression. We describe those social movements as “transition and recovery movements” for they address social and spatial injustices through new forms of space appropriation and decision-making which can redefine livelihoods in today’s Greek cities, create political space for civil society and build an enabling environment for new forms of democratic practice.
AUTONOMA - M. Kikidou, M. Patelida & G. Somarakis - Imagine the City
Public space, and especially public urban space has been recognised by many scientists as a part of “commons” for local communities. From this perspective, space and society are connected through a reciprocal relationship and residents are not only receivers, but also creators of public space. This consideration appeared during the previous century and constituted the core of the controversy about the “top-down” approach of urban planning, where decision-makers and experts decide about the future of a city without public participation. One of the planning approaches, which emerged from the aforementioned criticism, was the participatory approach, which can be conducted through different methods and techniques. A technique, used for public information or interaction, is “exhibits”, which consists of exposed plans, designs, photographs, drawings or other visual displays with certain topic or audience at a specific location.
In this context, Imagine the City (ITC) developed as a series of exhibitions aiming to sparkle the dialogue among different local groups of interest (public authorities, city experts and citizens) and to fill the gap between decision-making and the plentiness of regeneration proposals for the city. Since 2010, when it was launched in the city of Chalkida, it has been a living and open network, which explores new ways and procedures to experience and shape the urban landscape. There have already been such exhibitions in 13 cities, with the participation of 632 researchers and more than 40.000 citizens.
This paper seeks to investigate ITC’s local teams’ development and to analyse whether the exhibitions impacted local communities and decision-making. What was the internal structure of local teams and how each of them collaborated with the core team? Τo what extent, have the exhibitions raised public awareness about citizens’ potential role in urban planning, encouraged groups of local citizens, and affected the decision-making processes in cities?
AUTONOMA - Stefania Gyftopoulou, Asimina Paraskevopoulou - Towards co-product...
Crisis does not predefine a specific response. It is the act and the outcome of the critique; the mental act that leads to a response. Through the act of critique, crisis has the potential to produce different realities (knowledge, values and truths). Roitman (2011) elaborately explains that “crisis is constructed as an object of knowledge” creating a new ‘normalcy’ that in its turn influences our understanding not only of ourselves but also of the position we hold in our societies. Thus crisis is about becoming.
This paper by examining the case of Athens tries to explain the relationship among grassroots practicing their emancipating autonomy and collective political action in response to crisis and municipalities’ political agendas. Crisis, being both destructive and productive gradually educates the citizens to live with the loss of the city’s contested nature resulting in the establishment of a new social imaginary and form of citizenship.
We argue that the space of grassroots movements for addressing claims through revolutionary urban practices has shifted from the public realm to academic circles to local governments’ political agendas in the municipal level though participatory design projects. Citizenship conceptualized through its substantive aspects (Staeheli, 1999: 69) underlines the significance of peoples’ ability to function with autonomy, formulating political ideas, which in the Greek context are being reconfigured by collective and participatory processes.
Public consultations, participatory methodologies and design are introduced in the production of urban space, de-constructing the dipole expert (policy makers) – non expert (citizens), promoting a collaborative model of governance. This is perceived as democratization and co-production of knowledge in order to achieve equitable urban settings, discovering a new social consciousness in design and planning.
However, does this institutionalization of participatory processes expand the field for forming new realities, socially and spatially, or does it subtract the radical aspect of grassroots’ actions by appeasing public discontent?

The presentation will introduce the methodology of Architectural Design Studio 7 at the Royal College of Art, an educational platform that proposes to think space, subjectivity and life beyond the capitalist rationale. The focus on Ecologies of Existence aims to bring together material, environmental, technical, social and mental domains. In doing so it promotes a way to think and design ecologically, not so much by protecting existing ecologies, but as a project of generating conditions for different ones to emerge and affirm themselves. We argue that only in these terms can a properly ecological project take place. We understand architecture as a practice that has the ability to give consistency, or even to formalise, modes of living. In our view architecture gains its political relevance precisely when it is able to think space and its configurations in terms of living. And it is in this sense that we argue that architecture is a significant category of ecological struggle. Addressing the relations between space, subjectivity and modes of social organisation we aim to explore how collectives of living can become constituent political and spatial actors of the city by affirming through architecture their radical difference. Set against a background of neoliberal forms of urbanization and city making, the ADS7 studio has as its priority the speculation about alternative forms of social and spatial organisation. In the occasion of Autonoma conference, we will present a series of case studies and projects that envision new institutional forms, proposing alternative practices of governance and modes of living.
AUTONOMA - Quirino Spinelli - Refugee Spaces within the Contemporary European...
The increase of asylum seekers in Europe determines the demand for new spaces that must firstly fulfill the reception in response to emergency conditions. The regulation of the phenomenon is at the center of the Agenda of the European Union that, on September 22 2015, scheduled to place hundred and twenty thousand refugees. What I would like to point out here is that this issue is deeply urban because it is changing the city through the new ways in which the city is inhabited.
In Turin, the phenomenon assumes particularly interesting characters. Immigration policies, operating within the institutional programs, come up beside the initiatives promoted by the political activism that is attempting to build a parallel model of self-managed care and protection. Both the forms face the same condition of poverty alongside the many other dimensions of poverty that are now strongly visible again within the city. Self-managed initiatives, however, appear to have a greater ability to occupy abandoned or hardly used spaces.
The Olympic Village is one of these spaces: for its size and characteristics, it is now a real urban camp. The Village hosts a sort of self-managed enclave whose spaces are governed and regulated to ensure protection and safety. Here, commercial activities are regulated by a micro-credit system, cultural and recreational activities are promoted through specific programs, there is a school, a space dedicated to legal advice, to health care and professional training.
Within the framework of policies for refugees, the Olympic Village seems to stage a poor way of living that aims to be exemplary as it expresses so many virtues in managing conditions of scarcity and exhibiting economic emancipation. Observing this contradictory place can help us to reflect about the European City, the ways it is changing and its ability to integrate and exclude.
AUTONOMA - Stefanos Levidis - Embassy for the Displaced: Islanding in the Sha...
The first half of the decade saw warfare escalate all the way from the Maghreb, to the Middle East, into Europe, thus positioning the issue of displaced people in the centre of public discourse. This forceful displacement urged people to seek refuge on European soil, with the Greek islands neighbouring the Turkish coast becoming the informal gate for people on their way to the greek mainland and then westward into the European Union, while at the same time acquiring particularities of a war front, an extension of the warzone, through human bodies and stories that arrive on their shores.
European authorities have taken to an increasingly militarized management of their respective sovereign borders, while the division between the European core and its periphery has become all the more acute. The fortification of the border, both literal and symbolic, heightens a sense of national space in a Europe in crisis. National space is ‘protected’ by exotic invaders, the displaced, the unwanted, the new enemy. Even though -exceptions aside- humanitarian etiquette would not permit such a bold statement on the authorities’ part, razor fences are erected in a domino-like effect and treaties that have been standing for decades are put to test in an attempt to shore up state sovereignty, as European states externalise their bordering and carceral practices.
This is a crisis to be understood and examined in territorial terms. The space within which this flow occurs-the 'Refugeescape'- is the site of this intervention. As new narratives establish themselves across Europe, the emerging architectures of bordering are to be examined afresh. The migrant corridor assumes qualities of an archipelago of exception, with conflicting agents making for the emergence of places of ‘legislative void’ within the borderscape. Extraterritorial islands, where notions of sovereignty and citizenship for refugees and locals alike are open for negotiation. Such a displaced reality could not be examined in linear means.
Established between London, Athens and Lesvos island, the Embassy for the Displaced initiative is deployed as a vessel that aims at occupying these extraterritorial sites in an effort to document and examine this displacement of historic proportions, and establish the criteria that allow for a subversive insertion of practices that negotiate issues of citizenship, space, and autonomy for displaced people. In the present proposal this will be attempted through an archaeological archiving process of objects, visual stimuli and testimonies, the decoding of a series of design interventions and the use of new representational media, such as three dimensional scanning and Virtual Reality environments. From the body, to the camp, and, eventually, the landscape, an inventory of the potential of design to formule new bordering and citizenship strategies for a project of autonomy is to be drafted.

While most of the cities in the world lack space, the city of Athens, an urban context severely hit by the financial crisis, has 30% of its building reserve empty. The city’s ground-floor network, once the steaming engine of its urban welfare, has now become a redundant landscape of empty pocket spaces. Within this pragmatic context of emerging decay, «TRACES OF COMMERCE» is organized as an initiative aiming to bring back to a state of activity a symbolic vacant space of Athens, «Stoa Emporon» (Arcade of Merchants). A dead zone in the heart of Athens city center which remained stagnant, with its small shops being empty, with no activity during the last decade. The vision of the initiative was the re-birth of this symbolic public space through the establishment of a productive platform with interdisciplinary synergies that opens up to the city.
«TRACES OF COMMERCE» initiative first begun in May 2014 hosting 12 diverse creative collaborations who experimented on the dipole theme «old-new commerce» generating an environment of participatory activities with the engagement of local community agents into open collaborative workshops.
The program launched its 2nd phase in December 2014 under the umbrella «NEW CREATIVE CELLS OF EXCHANGE». Following an open call for proposals, 10 shops of Stoa Emporon were assigned for free, for a period of 8 months, to creative start-ups and small entrepreneurial collaborations who transformed the empty shops of the arcade into a transparent laboratory for the exchange of knowledge.

Though they share the word design, the practices of urban design and product design share little in principles and processes. The technologies underlying ‘Smart Cities’ enable a convergence around the ‘Interaction Design’ of connected devices and environments. The focus of Social Practice Theory also points to the importance of these mid-sized mediators for determining the regimes of urban life as lived. How then should we do urban scale interaction design?
This is not merely a pragmatic question. What is at issue in the politics of autonomia in the context of collective cities is a choice about scale, mediating between the resistant smallness of subsistence and acceding to global flows of capital. To use an old language, how to interaction design ways of dwelling in cities no longer structured by grand narratives?
These practical and theoretical issues will be discussed through a case study of Sharing Economies and the way these initiatives quickly switched from resistant systems for product sharing to appropriate systems of labor cooption.

More than three decades of Kurdish struggle, “the Peace Process” could only progress in recent years under the rule of Justice and Development Party (AKP). However the success of pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (Halkların Demokratik Partisi, HDP) in June 2015 election of Turkey, and gains of Kurdish struggle in Syrian-Turkey border against ISIS, state violence sparkled anew in Kurdish cities of Turkey. In August, the declaration of self-governance (öz yönetim) in Kurdish districts of Turkey faced with an extensive and brutal state military operation and state of siege. Accordingly, government’s declaration for the need of urban renewal and urgent expropriation of corresponding districts released as a gloss over of approximately 300 civilians’ death by curfews held in 20 districts of 7 cities by state armed forces with heavy artillery evacuation and bombarded buildings and houses. At least 1 million 377 thousand residents have been affected by, almost 60 time imposed, curfews and up to half million people where displaced. We argue that operations’ ultimate aim is to marginalize and debilitate the opponent self-governance paradigm of Kurdish movement through re-construction of central districts profitable and amenable to state control. Urban planning emerges as the new means of population politics of Turkish state not only on the behalf of spatial control but also assimilation and denial of a specific Kurdish identity that is shaped within Kurdish movement’s political paradigm. Moreover, escalating state violence as a response to declaration of self-governance caused destruction in urban centers Cizre, Sur and Silopi, which depicts the urbanization of state’s Kurdish policies through accumulation by dispossession. This paper seeks to elaborate on conflicting socio-spatial production relations of Kurdish self-governance’s promises with state institutions. Furthermore, we will focus on planning policies as a tool to wash away the trail of destruction & struggle and dispossession in Sur - known as one of the ancient centers of Mesopotamia. Urban regeneration policies of AKP government in last 15 years, regulations, declarations of party representatives, parliamentary minutes and interviews will be used to narrate aforementioned socio-spatial production relations. As a result we hope this paper will raise voice for the current struggle of peace in Turkey.
AUTONOMA - Dalia Munenzon - Continental Islands: Ceuta and Gibraltar A typolo...
Continental Islands (CIs) are a geomorphologic formation of land disconnected from the mainland while maintaining the same on continental shelf. This characteristic of connectivity and remoteness blurs the CIs relation to the geopolitical territory of the ‘mainland’. The geographical constraints & geopolitical ambiguity sets the CIs in an important infrastructural role in global political economy as spaces of exchange, trade and circulation. Consequently this multilayered aspect attracts competition over political and economic resources, which results in a social and urban spatial re-organization. The CIs discussed in this paper located on both banks of the Strait of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean. They are divided between Africa and Europe: Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city surrounded by Morocco; and Gibraltar, a British overseas territory surrounded by Spain. Thus both territories are separated from their hinterlands and mainland. This paper explores the CIs as a typology of operational, transactional and infrastructural spaces and develops a design strategy, which will lead to the fulfillment of the autonomic potential of these territories.
Historically, both Ceuta and Gibraltar maintain extensive military infrastructure across their territories and are both dependent on their respective mainlands. This fact is a clear sign of their strategic geopolitical importance - an imperialistic manifestation of power and control. As a result of this relationship civilian and social infrastructures are marginalized and neglected by the mainland policymakers. Following the reduction of the military involvement in Gibraltar, the territory accepted it’s partial emancipation and used the new status as a tool for attraction of undisclosed and lucrative economic activities. On the other hand Ceuta is currently fully supported by Spain and functions as a black commodity market, transport hub and geopolitical territorial currency, while sustaining 32% of unemployment and a large immigrant community. In this paper the CI strategy will be examined by applying a new contrarian scenario of extended emancipation, which will suggest a future where local sociopolitical movements will transform Ceuta and Gibraltar and will set them as important nodes in the global economic nexus.
AUTONOMA - Anselmo Canha, Sara Moreira - Neither public nor private: “Baldio”
This paper presents the case of a group of non-profit associations, co-ops and researchers from Porto, Portugal, aimed at retrieving in an urban area the ancestral dynamics of communal property management – the “Baldio” (common land).
The group gathers alternative networks of production, consumption and distribution of food, social currency, artistic projects and independent platforms of communication, critical thinking and activism.
The group got together by the need for a physical space, the affinity between their activities and the shared will to experiment ways of producing the commons in common – providing alternatives to current forms of association and production that deprive the collective of the management of resources and shared future.
In the rural traditions of Galicia and Northern Portugal, “Baldio” is a communal property status applied to lands that belong neither to the formal public domain nor the private: they are based on a title in which “compartes” (counterparts) self-organize to meet their needs together.
In a city currently committed to a narrow and short-term survival mode, based on tourism and entertainment, reflecting trends in the globalized world, the group elected “Baldio” as an inheritance to seed and nourish a joint path of unrest and divergence.
The process, the research and the paper address four starting dilemmas:
How to cultivate autonomy before the enclosure of privatization?
How to assure survival and vitality while remaining aside from mercantilist logic?
How to envisage identity and language as tools of change, which means, without curtailing future possibilities?
In short, how to maintain a fruitful, rooted state of questioning, that does not deplete itself as an entrenched result, model, dead law?
The methodology is divided into documental research, dialogue with contexts currently operating in Baldio regime, dialogue between the group members, and the recognition of empathies in the city of Porto.
AUTONOMA - Casa-Comuna Cooperativa, Asociación Cooperativa Taller de Arquitec...
In only three decades, Mesoamerica shifted from a traditional agro-export economic model to one based on services, trade and transnational finance—especially dependent on migrant remittances and global corporate capital. In a much tormented region with a stubborn history of rebellions and failures in making a less unjust society, Casa-Comuna Cooperativa was conceived in the context of the 2015 Guatemalan citizen uprising as a self-managed cooperative platform grounded on the non-speculative social production of housing. Mixed-income dwellers are supported by a crossed-contributions financial mechanism to counter urban segregation and income inequality. The project is based on a ‘right of use’ cooperative model for the collective ownership of housing in central urban areas. Within and against capital, an insurance-based data-mining cuasi-algorithm provides the backing for a communal investment trust that allows for collective financing—including migrant remittances—as a vehicle to productively link urban and rural members in the region. The cooperative is constituted by four modes of memberships—dweller-member, migrant-member, collaborator-member and investor-member—each participating with different co-responsibilities, and contributing in distinct capacities to the established communal trust. Dweller-members self-manage their living quarters and benefit from a work insurance and collective relief fund. Migrant-members, while not necessarily living within the housing cooperative, participate as long-distance collaborators and benefit from time-sharing a housing unit and the optionality for becoming dweller-members. Collaborator-members benefit from the cooperative’s cultural and self-education activities. And finally, investor-members have access to fair-economy investment possibilities linked to productive spaces within the cooperative’s quarters. Architecture and design are ultimately deployed as a self-management apparatus for the social inclusion and the production of communal living and working spaces.
AUTONOMA - Laura Williams - The 'New' Frontiers
At this moment, California is in economic, political, and developmental turmoil. Leading economic sectors are changing, the segregation between California’s coastal hubs and its middle land is undeniable, and its transport network is both clogged and deteriorating. However, California is still a productive cornucopia of resources: valuable land for development, the agriculturally fertile central valley, and an increasingly skilled work force. Embedded in these two Californias, the deteriorating and the prosperous, are low density residential units that extend in every direction but the ocean. The northern edge of Los Angeles, though, is so geologically extreme that this sprawl has not leapt across the San Gabriel Mountains. Instead, urban expansion on the edge has founded stand-in towns, staging and production areas for the Los Angeles Basin and gateway to the Central Valley. Simultaneously, this is the ground of exchange between the glamour and mythos of Los Angeles and the wholly separate agrarian societies of the Central Valley and High Desert.
There are two potentials here, the first is in reinventing the way in which cities are expanded: a replicable typology that takes advantage of robust infrastructures but reimagines their connections with embedded focus points. The second is to acknowledge the history and character of northern Los Angeles as gateway to the High Desert and Central Valley, and reimagine a way in which inhabitants of these more rural societies can be connected to new economies and opportunities through existing logistics spaces.
In the years since the American financial crisis there has been a rise in temporary employment, not just in the traditional sectors of the farmworker or seasonal salesman, but across industries from manufacturing to business. These workers come from a variety of backgrounds and operate in any number of sectors and locations, but are connected through their constant condition of domestic transience. In rethinking the edges of cities we must also interrogate the territories they are encroaching upon, and can perhaps begin to imagine a new system of shared domestic spaces that operates opportunistically within existing infrastructural and logistics spaces. This paper will interrogate the territories between cities, those simultaneously on the edge and in the middle, and reimagine how the mobile workforce can take advantage of infrastructural connectivity to enhance their personal autonomy.
AUTONOMA - Matina Kapsali / Maria Karagianni - Experimenting with urban garde...
This document discusses two urban gardening initiatives in Thessaloniki, Greece: Kipos3 and PERKA. Kipos3 was formed in 2014 in an urban area near the city center by architects and an agriculturist, and aims to transform unused urban spaces into common gardening areas. PERKA was formed in 2011 at a former military camp by citizens seeking to cultivate the land organically based on principles of solidarity and self-sufficiency. The document analyzes the initiatives through the theoretical frameworks of urban political ecology and urban commons, examining their imaginaries and everyday practices. It finds that while Kipos3 introduces new public spaces through expertise, PERKA more strongly challenges social and spatial norms through collective decision
AUTONOMA - Konstantinos Christodoulidis - Agroecology, Market and Autonomy
Agroecology as a term stands for an integrated approach to farming and environmental management practices for the emergence of regenerative, agro-productive ecosystems. It is becoming increasingly prominent within the ecological discourse, as it conceptualizes human habitat with terms of ecosystem flows and thus subtends concepts from farming to urban metabolism and from contemporary life sciences to timeless traditions. This paper aims to provide a brief presentation of agroecology's core concepts and will focus on their prospects for economic autonomy and how this is irrevocably linked to trade.
Manuel DeLanda's discource on “markets and antimarkets” (large, competing oligopolies and self-organized meshworks of small firms), as well as other writings of political ecologists, have described the historicity of cities as agglomerations for consumers of a much broader network of organic flows (amongst other flows), and how links to urban markets have proven indispensable for rural life. Furthermore, researchers (notably Altieri) have dealt with the interrelation between agroecology and autonomy in the context of contemporary Latin America and regard agroecology as being between a merely scientific approach and a political struggle for territory. Last but not least, many ecological projects carry a message of betterment, that results from a set of practices mediated as a cultural and political participation to the urban condition, that either tries to reform and mitigate it's impact or tries to abolish it's very content and establish a direct alternative outside it's physical boundaries.
Contemplating on these differences and forming links, between the urge to “naturalize” processes and to “rationalize” agroproduction, between conceptions of autonomy as symbolic challenges within the urban condition and as actual manifestations of insular communities and between nature as a relational discourse and an external “law of the need”, consists of the prime expediency of this study.
AUTONOMA - Nikos Anastasopoulos - Autonomy: Reflections on Scale and Complexity
This document discusses autonomy and complexity through examples from Greece and Ecuador. It examines initiatives and projects in both countries that explore bottom-up and top-down approaches to governance, including universities, research centers, parks, and communities working on open knowledge, rights to land, and sustainable living. Case studies highlighted include Yachay and IKIAM in Ecuador, Navarinou Park and Elpidohori in Greece, and how they investigate autonomous and complex social systems through both grassroots and institutional frameworks.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

AUTONOMA - Jason Rebillot - Environmentalism and the Postindustrial Neoproletariat
- 1. [environmentalism and the postindustrial neoproletariat] prof. dr. jason rebillot architect, maa associate professor + graduate program coordinator woodbury university school of architecture principal, future living syndicate los angeles
- 2. within the logics of postindustrial service economies lies a project of radical personal autonomy with clear territorial implications… it equally suggests that these two components- the postindustrial and the territorial- are imbricated with yet a third concern- the environmental.
- 3. or technological emancipation x personal autonomy + collective autonomy / decentralization = sustainability [?]
- 6. the neoproletariat as environmentalist
- 7. broadly speaking, it is only by decentralization that we can increase self-sufficiency- and self- sufficiency is vital if we are to minimize the burden of social systems on the ecosystems that support them. edward goldsmith, 1972
- 12. no bureaucratic manipulative, centralized administration here, but a voluntaristic system in which the economy, society and ecology of an area are administered by the community as a whole, and the distribution of the means of life is determined by need, rather than by labour, profit or accumulation.
- 13. radical agriculture offers a meaningful response to this desperate situation in terms not of a fanciful flight to a remote agrarian refuge, but of a systematic recolonization of the land along ecological lines. murray bookchin, 1996
- 15. an ethos of decentralism toward urban settlement patterns and their attendant administrative and governmental systems, social provisions, and material infrastructures is the most viable means of living within the carrying capacity of the planet. in this formulation, survival is linked to the cultivation of an extensive, rather than intensive, spatiality.
