History Repairs the Territory
Designing the future habitability of our planet means, above all, a clear yet plural vision of the transformations under way in the midst of the ecological transition. To strengthen a territory’s capacity to sustain life, we are called upon to carry out a forward-looking diagnosis of the long and complex web of changes that have produced it. Surveying it and mapping the systems of (im)balance linked to human occupation, climate disruption or the depletion of resources invite us to return to the roots and histories that have shaped it over time. In this session, history takes part not as a single, unquestionable doctrine, but as a plural narrative. It is invited to reclaim its rightful, essential place among the tools for designing the transition. History helps us to make the seeds of regeneration take root (a return to life, to balance, to the sources) in two territories now in decline: the river valley of the Douro in northern Portugal and the coastline of Valparaíso in Chile.
