[Re]Urban practice, towards a European research agenda for urbanism: Nature as reference, human as critical, process as fundamental

Addressing climate change is fundamental and requires learning how to design cities with environmental risks and opportunities. It is the responsibility the people all have as citizens, and the deadline is fast-approaching. However, urbanism has a clear responsibility in this deepening inequality and should be one of the pillars of any policy aiming to reduce it, for example, in introducing basic services (schools, nurseries, transportation, parks, and housing) for everyone. The human being and social practices are at the core of the observed reflections, as it is also clear in the selected articles. Designing the city as an ongoing process where the human being is the main focus and where life comes first, then spaces, then buildings. As fast as possible, research in urbanism tries to apply its disciplinary practice to present-day circumstances.
