Abstract
This session’s goal is to link and enhance the discipline of urban design/planning with future systemic changes strategies that transform habitats through resilient thinking approach processes. Participants will learn and design using a resilient thinking approach. More specifically, this session will initiate participants into conducting Social-Technical-Ecological System (STES) resiliency plans through interactive and collaborative participatory processes. Following the 2030 United Nations’ guidelines on SDG, Sustainable Development Goals, we will organize a Resilient Thinking Approach Collaborative Workshop that aims at promoting sustainability and resilience for Habitats at different scales such as the Metropolis of Barcelona/ an informal neighborhood in Colombia or an island (Governors Island in NYC) . In this workshop will conduct two distinct activities. 1 The first part of the workshop will introduce the resilient thinking approach concept to understand the adaptive life heuristic into design thinking. a. Concepts such as Complex Adaptive Systems and Panarchy using Resilience Thinking Approach. b. Development - Causes and nature of Creative Destruction process will be explored in groups. How do these different challenges generate a window of opportunity for system change, in which different actors (citizens, grass-root movements, environmental activists and artists) unify forces to create change—also known as creative destruction design process? 2. Second, participants will collaborate in groups and create a Resilient Thinking vision 2030. In the final step, we will celebrate the participants’ proposals, and set up a GI Resilient Thinking Approach Exhibition.
