Descrizione dell'iniziativa
Cities are under growing pressure from climate change, pollution, inequality and biodiversity loss, all of which affect health, living conditions and access to opportunities. Urban regeneration seeks to address these challenges by redesigning neighbourhoods to become healthier, fairer and more resilient, combining top-down strategies with bottom-up initiatives to improve overall urban liveability.
In this context, the first edition of the City Bootcamp in Milan is conceived as an intensive and transdisciplinary learning space dedicated to exploring practices of urban sustainability through a more-than-human perspective. The Summer School invites participants to rethink their role as drivers of change, observing the city as a complex and interdependent ecosystem in which not only cross-boundary collaborations across roles, disciplines, expertise, locations, human activities, worldviews, and generations are required. Humans, other species, infrastructures, and ecological processes are deeply entangled.
Through field-based activities, collaborative design, and direct engagement with local stakeholders, the 5-days programme challenges conventional models of urban regeneration and proposes alternative approaches grounded in multispecies coexistence, ecological care, and shared responsibility. The City Bootcamp thus positions itself as a critical laboratory for imagining and experimenting with more just, sensitive, and inclusive urban futures – not only for humans, but for the entire entanglement of urban life.
The City Bootcamp is part of “CAL:TS – The City as a Laboratory: Transdisciplinary Learning for a Transformative Society”, an Erasmus+ project co-funded by the European Union and coordinated by Politecnico di Milano, TU Berlin, and TU Delft.
