The S.O.S. CIUDADES program aims to establish a space for reflection, annually highlighting the potential of various cities in the region where urban processes triggered by integration present opportunities for local governments and challenges for academia.
These "urban project workshops on concerted areas"—academic initiatives that have visited cities and territories across the region during the last week of April every year since 2002—promote a collective perspective in constructing a regional ideal. They bring together students and faculty from different countries for fieldwork, as well as the authorities responsible for fostering common policies to stimulate such exchanges.
Below, the organizers share some thoughts on this year's Argentine edition in Mendoza.
