What are the cities we want to live in like? How can we build them through participation? And how do we foster community and social cohesion among citizens? These are the questions being asked by those in charge of territorial planning in the country, and they will be discussed at the "City and Constitution" panel discussion, organized by the Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture, which will take place on Wednesday, September 29, at 7:30 PM (Chile time) via Zoom.
To address the concerns of those wondering what the role of cities will be in the constitutional debate, the discussion will feature writer and founder of The Clinic, Patricio Fernández, current coordinator of the Convention's Communications, Information, and Transparency committee; César Uribe—the only architect in the Constitutional Convention—a member of the Decentralization, Equity, and Territorial Justice committee; José Pedro Urzúa and Andrea Palma—founders of the NGO Ciudades Extraordinarias—and José Miguél Gómez, founder of Espacio Lúdico. They will share their perspectives on the search for socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable urban ecosystems that can be integrated into the new Constitution.
