The sidewalk is the most democratic area of our home—we don't always remember this, but it is indeed part of our home, our building, and we believe it can be a space that goes beyond mere circulation. We view the sidewalk as a place for social interaction, tolerance, and respect for others, where we must engage with people of all genders, races, religions, ages, and social, physical, and mental conditions. In other words, it is a space where the full exercise of citizenship takes place.

The 2nd Science, Technology, and Society Symposium, to be held at UNILA/Foz do Iguaçu on May 24th and 25th, focuses on the geopolitics of knowledge, dependency, and coloniality in Latin America. In other words, the symposium aims to bring Latin American Thought on Science, Technology, and Society (PLACTS) closer to the decolonial perspective, viewing it as a theoretical expression created by the South and for the South, specifically addressing issues most relevant to Latin America. Decolonial thought understands the world through its interiorities, geographical space, and dissident bodies, serving as a powerful critique of Western modernity and its inherent colonial violence, as well as the coloniality of power and knowledge.
The proposal for the International Lato Sensu Specialization Course in URBAN PLANNING AND PUBLIC POLICY: URBANISM, LANDSCAPE, TERRITORY is structured as a research itinerary with a dual objective. First, it aims to create a think tank on contemporary urbanism as an interdisciplinary activity that encompasses urban and territorial policies, moving beyond the rigid dichotomy between planning and design. Second, by establishing relationships with the environment through research, reflection, and action, the course aims to link academic investigation with diverse public policies, based on the production of scientific knowledge systematized in a database that serves as support for Territorial and Urban Planning.
The grupoDEArquitetura—or the group's warehouse, as we call it—is launching its "Open School at the Warehouse" project this month.
The project stems from a desire to share and build critical thinking regarding architecture, urbanism, the arts, cinema, geography, and other fields that play a fundamental role in how we inhabit and transform urban life.
Connection is what drives us; the construction of thought is what sustains us.
Focused on the exchange of experiences, critical reflection, and continuous learning, the "Open School at the Warehouse" project will bring lectures, seminars, workshops, and debates to Presidente Prudente. Featuring prominent figures who will contribute to the public's critical development in diverse ways, the project thereby fulfills the social function of the warehouse, architecture, and its related fields.

Over the last two decades, the discipline of landscape has been designated as a model and a medium for the contemporary city. During this time, a range of alternative architecture and urbanism practices have emerged throughout Latin America. Many of these practices explore the ecological and territorial implications of urban projects. The emergence of these practices has coincided with social and political transformations in the region.
