Abstract
The housing and climate crises are deeply intertwined and key sources of inequality. We will explore them from a social science perspective, examining uses, spaces, politics, and moral economies of housing, and different notions of responsibility in the transition to sustainable urban habitats.
Objective
The course aims to understand the political and social conditions of urban lifestyles and mobility patterns to explore the levers of action available to professionals to support the critical emergence of renewed urban models. Taking the form of a course-seminar, the proposed teaching aims to show the interest of methodologies from the social sciences of the city to develop critical urban and territorial design.
Content
Seminars, methodological teaching sessions and applied exercises.
