GEOGRAPHIES OF RADICAL PLURALISM AND THE PROJECT
Presentation of the special Issue Geographies of radical pluralism and the project.
Journal of Urbanism: International Research on Placemaking and Urban Sustainability
Edited by Marco Ranzato and Barbara Badiani (2026)
Seminar organized as part of the Ph.D Program in Urban and Regional Development
Abstract:
Radical pluralism extends well beyond the coexistence generated by urban densities, affecting entire urbanised territories. Urbanism can address this condition by acknowledging the inherent changeability of urban spaces and the unstoppable and legitimate possibility of insurgency, with its calls for alterations and reconfigurations of the social order—and, consequently, of the spatial conditions that characterise it. The seminar presents observations on places, spaces, protagonists, and projects in Berlin, Ceuta, Santa Palomba, Aversa Nord, Liscate, Brescia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, offering insights into potential geographies of radical pluralism
