Adolf Sotoca, author of the book Barcelona Besòs: Current Ecologies, and Maria Sisternas, an architect and contributor to various media outlets, will discuss the concept of urban ecology from diverse perspectives and through multiple crossreadings. Sustainability, urbanism, ecology, and real-world experiences from the case study presented in the book—the Besòs and Maresme neighborhood in Barcelona—will be some of the topics covered in the conversation.

The case study, although specific to the eastern region of the city, helps to understand the implications of urban structure both along the Besòs axis and throughout the rest of the city. It offers an opportunity to delve deeper into the territory-society relationship, aiming to uncover the keys and methodologies for sustainable urban regeneration based on a better understanding of the reality of those who inhabit the territory.

The event is envisioned as a gathering for people interested in the topic. It will begin with a participatory exercise to initiate the debate, followed by the conversation and book presentation, and will conclude with a small musical performance that, through artistic expression, will bring us closer and reconnect us with the sounds of water.
