Resumen de De la sostenibilidad hacia la resiliencia en las prácticas urbanísticas: la ciudad de barcelona y el barrio de vallcarca
Cities (social-ecological systems) evolve as an adaptive self-organized complex system. As a consequence, sustainable development of urban systems are based on their degree of adaptability and transformability to systemic change. This capacity to adapt is called resilience. The adaptive cycle and the panarchy heuristic (Gunderson and Holling, 2002) is a representation of resilience dynamics by inner-scales and cross-scales networks, nested in a set of adaptive cycles experienced by permanent changes caused by hierarchical relationships at both time and space scale and through the ¿revolt¿ and ¿memory¿ connections in order to establish a sustainable development.
The main goal of the thesis is to apply the Adaptive cycle and the Panarchy heuristic as a Urban Planning management tool and methodology to analyze, structure and interpret the evolutionary urban dynamics, compare with conventional urban planning interpretation and understand the characteristics of the cities to systemic changes and crisis, using Barcelona as a city case study.
