Interactive Story Map on Urban Ecologies in Latina, Italy, by RCC Landhaus Fellow Paolo Gruppuso
02.08.2023
RCC Landhaus fellow Paolo Gruppuso has created an interactive story map, Exploring City Wetlands: Small Resilient Unruly, on urban ecologies in Latina, Italy, which has been featured on the Environment & Society Portal.
This work is a creative exploration of areas of ecological resistance in Latina, Italy. In Latina—the capital of the province of Latina—wetlands emerge in-between the ruins and rubbles of the urban fabric; the nonhuman organizes itself by creating forms of ecological resistance that go beyond the natural/built dichotomy. They are the non-designed result of colonial and industrial infrastructures that constitute the Anthropocene and its dreadfulness. From here we need to start rethinking cities: beyond spaces, times, and logics of ecosystem services and natural capital. (Environment & Society Portal)
