The millions of inhabitants and workers of Paris and its outskirts, i.e. its users, as well as those living in other big metropolis, have to face the logics of neoliberal globalisation: the weight of financial and real estate benefits, destructive productivism, segregation and security policies and territorial and social inequalities. Nowadays, these are the logics that drive all the aspects of urban development: housing, transport, health, environment, access to rights and culture, etc.
Territorial Forum of Rosario’s Periphery.
Territorial Forum of Rosario’s Periphery.
This forum aims at boosting the creation of a place for meeting, debate and thinking about the periphery of Rosario. The main actors will be those living and working in the periphery, the ones who really know and, sometimes, suffer the periphery, those who defend it, identify with it and mainly those who try to turn it into an open space for everyone, a much more fair and supportive place. Two editions have already been held in November 2008 and 2009. Both events were attended by citizen organizations from several districts of the periphery of the city which had the opportunity to meet and exchange experiences related to social struggle and organization.
