Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability (BCNUEJ)

El Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability (BCNUEJ) fue creado conjuntamente entre el Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals (ICTA) de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) y un grupo de investigación del Institut Hospital del Mar d'Investigacions Mèdiques (IMIM). El BCNUEJ desarrolla investigación novedosa basada en estudios de política y planificación urbana, desigualdad social y desarrollo. El objetivo principal es estudiar las oportunidades y los retos creados por iniciativas urbanas municipales, de grupos locales o privadas, que aumentan la sostenibilidad, equidad y salud en las ciudades.

Nuestra investigación examina procesos y dinámicas que conducen a la creación de ciudades más justas, resilientes, sanas y sostenibles, reuniendo teoría y métodos de planificación urbana, política pública, sociología urbana y medioambiental, geografía urbana y salud pública. Nuestros estudios analizan hasta qué punto planes urbanísticos y decisiones políticas contribuyen a la creación de ciudades más justas, resilientes, sanas y sostenibles, y cómo asociaciones locales de barrios deprimidos disputan la existencia, creación, o agravación de injusticias medioambientales que resultan de procesos y políticas de (re)vitalización.

We clarify the relationship between greening and gentrification by examining the sociospatial dynamics that characterize and drive "green gentrification. " Through a conversation with the growing literature on green gentrification, we show that this relationship is nuanced and contingent upon contextual factors and we depict the exclusions at stake.

17 p, 5.5 MB From greening the climate-adaptive city to green climate gentrification? Civic perceptions of short-lived benefits and exclusionary protection in Boston, Philadelphia, Amsterdam and Barcelona / Planas-Carbonell, Aina (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Anguelovski, Isabelle (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

Municipal governments are increasingly promoting green climate-adaptive infrastructure projects to address climate threats and impacts while maximizing multiple socio-environmental benefits. Although these strategies are repeatedly advanced as "win-win" solutions for all, recent literature has drawn attention to numerous negative effects, especially the displacement and exclusion of vulnerable social groups, pointing at yet another layer of climate injustice.
