Planos comunitários de redução de risco em tempos de crise climática - 14ᵃ Bienal Internacional de Arquitetura de São Paulo

The thematic session proposes to discuss experiences and methodological strategies in the development and implementation of popular planning instruments aimed at promoting socio-environmental and climate justice in popular territories, such as community plans for climate risk reduction and adaptation and neighborhood plans – instruments that operate at different scales, based on participatory processes. The session will address the urgency of integrated solutions to address climate challenges, which articulate technical knowledge and local knowledge, and which actively involve communities in all stages of the process to strengthen their autonomy and build collective response capacity in the face of extreme climate events. Advances and challenges of these initiatives will be presented, valuing both methodological lessons learned and practical impacts on the territories. The debate will bring together diverse experts (researchers, public managers, urban planners, representatives of social movements, universities and civil society organizations) combining structured presentations with open dialogues.

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.
