Urban planning and conflicts: voice, activism and citizenship with Carolina Pacchi

Urbinary is joined by Carolina Pacchi, Associate Professor at Politecnico di Milano with a doctorate in Urban Planning and Environmental Planning, to talk about conflicts in the city. We unpack what sparks contention, from distribution of resources to difference in ideological values, where they happen in the city, and how planners can tend to them. We look at emerging urban battlegrounds as contemporary work and home spaces evolve and bring new challenges. With Carolina’s expertise and insights, we try to understand how to approach conflict, not just as glitch in the system, but a way of making urban voices heard and bringing new actors into the political fold.
