Cidades em crise climática: planejamento e resiliência em territórios vulneráveis - 14ᵃ Bienal Internacional de Arquitetura de São Paulo

The session invites papers that critically analyze how urban, territorial and housing planning instruments have (or have not) contributed to addressing the challenges of the climate crisis in vulnerable territories. We are interested in exploring the articulation — or lack thereof — between master plans, housing policies and adaptation strategies, especially in contexts marked by socio-spatial inequalities, occupations in environmentally sensitive areas and lack of infrastructure. We start from the recognition that these territories are the most exposed to the impacts of extreme events and, at the same time, the least covered by effective public policies.

Based on the concept of urban resilience — understood as the capacity for adaptation, transformation, and reorganization in the face of ongoing crises — we seek contributions that question the limits of traditional planning and propose integrated, fair, and transformative alternatives. Experiences and analyses that articulate the right to housing, climate justice, and territorial restructuring will be valued, expanding the scope of public policies beyond risk mitigation.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
