Abstract

We live in a time called 'Anthropocene' where global warming, commonly known as climate change, is at the same time its condition and its most emblematic crisis. An era where the lack of control and knowledge of the consequences of the decisions of society regarding the environment have given rise to a renewed global awareness of risk. This global reflection must promote a renewal in the field of design and planning. A practice that moves away from the idea of risk control and that explicitly endows the systems with resilience, enabling their long-term adaptation and fostering their ecological, cultural and economic viability. Working with resilience then makes it possible to merge ecology and planning through adaptive management through design and experimentation
