Imagining a sustainable city to undo the path of colonial planning

It seems that Bookchin, like Mumford, or even non urban planning thinkers such as Marcuse, Gorz or Illich himself, knew how to coherently anticipate the present scenario by condemning the fate of the city half a century ago. It was not by chance that his thinking crossed borders with the ecological...

description It seems that Bookchin, like Mumford, or even non urban planning thinkers such as Marcuse, Gorz or Illich himself, knew how to coherently anticipate the present scenario by condemning the fate of the city half a century ago. It was not by chance that his thinking crossed borders with the ecological thinking that emerged in those years, as well as with the criticism of Marxism that would give rise to political ecology. All agree in one way or another on the need to rethink cities as a broader territorial, social and symbolic scenario. These thinkers, among others, were branded as extreme, skeptical and even anti-progressive, and saw the city’s decline as a whole. Others like Lefebvre recognized the exclusive centrality that the city was acquiring and sentenced the definitive disappearance of the countryside, advocating for a generalized right to the city. This overlooks, however, what Bookchin was so clear about: the bourgeois city, as a project and realization of the modern ideology of indefinite progress and based above all on economic growth, carries the germ of its own decadence. In addition, the poststructuralist and postmodern perspective of Soja opens up more complex and comprehensive horizons of understanding. And the developments of the decolonial theory, which discovers the intrinsically colonial nature of the Latin American city, places its birth in the same conquest of Abya Yala and allows us to understand its path from new points of reference. Thus, both in its theoretical formulation and the subsequent factual project, the Latin American city is reinterpreted as a mechanism (one more) of the coloniality of power that closed for five centuries the possibility of imagining other urban orders. But the finality represented by the climate crisis, the ineffable cultural dynamics of cities and the emergence of subaltern identities open up new horizons for thinking about their future, which is now in a new position.

No casualmente su pensamiento cruzaba fronteras con el pensamiento ecologista que surgía en esos años, así como con la crítica al marxismo que daría lugar a la ecología política. Todos coinciden de una u otra forma en la necesidad de repensar las ciudades como un escenario más amplio territorial, social y simbólicamente. Tachados de extremosos, escépticos e incluso antiprogresistas estos pensadores vieron en el derrotero que tomaba la ciudad su propia decadencia. Otros como Lefebvre reconocieron la centralidad excluyente que iba adquiriendo la ciudad y sentenciaron la desaparición definitiva del campo, abogando por un derecho generalizado a la ciudad. Pasando por alto, sin embargo, en lo que Bookchin fue tan claro: la ciudad burguesa, en tanto proyecto y realización de la ideología moderna del progreso indefinido y basado sobre todo en el crecimiento económico, carga el germen de su propia decadencia. Adicionalmente la perspectiva sumada posestructuralista y posmoderna como la de Soja abre horizontes de comprensión más complejos e integrales. Y los desarrollos de la teoría decolonial, que descubre la naturaleza intrínsecamente colonializada de la ciudad latinoamericana, ubica su nacimiento en la misma conquista del Abya Yala y permite comprender su derrotero a partir de nuevos puntos de referencia. Así, tanto en su formulación teórica como el subsecuente proyecto factico, la urbe latinoamericana, es reinterpretada como un mecanismo (uno más) de la colonialidad del poder que clausuró por cinco siglos la posibilidad de imaginar otros ordenes urbanos. Pero la terminalidad representada por la crisis climática, la inefable dinámica cultural de las ciudades y la emergencia de identidades subalternas, abren nuevos horizontes para pensar sus futuros, ahora dramática y renovadamente situados.application/pdfspaUNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑOhttps://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/159/632https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2REVISTA NODO; Vol. 13 Núm. 25 (2018); 78 - 972346-092X1909-388810.54104/nodo.v13n25UrbanismoModernidadColonialidadComunidadParticipaciónUrbanismModernityColonialityCommunityParticipationImagining a sustainable city to undo the path of colonial planningPensar la ciudad hacia la sustentabilidad es desandar el camino de la planificación colonialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por pareshttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Sessano, Pablo123456789/10617oai:repositorio.uan.edu.co:123456789/106172024-10-14 03:42:51.046metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uan.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UANalertas.repositorio@uan.edu.co
