It is now evident that the design of (new) infrastructures of inclusion, cooperation, and solidarity ought to be our primary and urgent task. Our shared Transatlantic educational and research project, Urbanisms of Inclusion (2010-14), sought to address the inequities and injustices of the last four decades of global development and economic growth policies, the antisocial turn in urbanist and design practices, and planetary-scale environmental destruction. Given the imminent global equity, climate and health crises we are facing, and the unprecedented scale of response needed to counter it, we are proposing to re-engage all participants in this project under the umbrella title “Infrastructures of Inclusion.” The idea is to solidify our platform for learning and exchange, and employ it to co-produce a manifesto-like, collective response to the present crisis.
