from Urbinary · host POLI.RADIO
Can a city be sustainable? An oxymoron? Can a system that creates entropy be sustainable? Or is sustainability rather a target that we will never achieve but we have to aim for?

Speculating a lot about sustainability nowadays, in the new episode we will uncover that term, which suggests exploring the complexity of the city from the ecological angle, and the role of public participation and technologies in reaching it.
