Wicked Urban Problem Cityscape: Latin America
Wicked Urban Problem Cityscape: Latin America
We invite you to listen to short audio reflections by the Scientific Leads from the 9 SMUS Core Partner Universities, in which they identify and discuss Wicked Urban Problems in a set of cityscape illustrations created by Uwe Lehmann. Developed in close collaboration with the Scientific Leads, the illustrations depict fictional cityscapes loosely representing African, Asian, and Latin American urban contexts.
Although each Scientific Lead comments on the illustration from their particular world region, the urban challenges they highlight — such as precarious tenancy, mobility inequality, and the gendered dimensions of urban mobility — are global.
To explore the recordings, click on the highlighted areas in the illustration or select one of the labelled panels below.
