Presence at the 28th International Conference of Europeanists: The Environment of Democracy (June 22, 2022) as part of the panel Housing access as a democratic challenge: between public policies and practices, with the paper Refugees, Urban life and Right to the City. Innovative Patterns for the (Post)Covid-19 Future.
Refugees, Urban life and Right to the City. Innovative Patterns for the (Post)Covid-19 Future reflects on the (post)Covid-19 future, analysing the construction of democracy on a local scale. Environmental issues are addressed (here understood as tensions in urban life), the concentration of resources and opportunities, and the inequalities that affect vulnerable groups (such as immigrants). The current problems of democracy and their implications, access to housing and the right to the city are discussed, while reflecting on the socio-spatial transformations achieved through activism and social movements. The objective is to identify and study current trends for the rapidly changing (post)Covid-19 future, understood here as a crucial moment that anticipates and announces unpredictable transformations, altering living conditions in the short/medium term. The aim is to capture new standards of an inclusive urban life built from struggles and housing achievements.
