摘要:This paper makes three main points relative to anticipating vulnerabilities and climate change in urban contexts.First, climate change is an ecological issue as well as an environmental problem and its amelioration requires an ecological response where “ecology” includes social and aesthetic as well as environmental concerns.Second, that we might consider “anticipating” rather than “planning” for the future.And, lastly, the paper argues that the senses are a necessary complement to technology and design and that we need to think sensitively and sensually when anticipating future vulnerabilities.In doing so, anthropology offers a set of tools that are complementary to ecological urbanism.
