Scenarios about 'social urbanism'
Social urbanism refers to an urban planning approach that prioritizes social inclusion, community participation, and addressing inequality through innovative architectural and infrastructural interventions. Originating in Medellín, Colombia in the early 2000s, this movement transformed marginalized neighborhoods through public spaces, transportation systems, and educational facilities. In alternate history scenarios, social urbanism often serves as a pivotal framework for reimagining how cities might have developed with different political priorities or technological capabilities.
