Socio-ecological margins, territorial marginalisation and place-based practices in squatted water-reserves. PhD thesis
Project description
This research studies marginalized communities living in water reserves in the southern peripheries of Sao Paulo (Brazil). The research focuses on a territorial-scale study that exposes territorial logics of margianlization; several immersive fieldworks that document the evolution of the place-based practices emerging from these marginalization processes; and finally a broader discussion addressing the margins as a place for new governance and urbanization models.
