cats of decolonial futures

mainstream architecture and urbanism has their roots in colonialism. this creates entrenched systems of harm, oppression and violence by design.

accelerated anthropogenic ecological collapse is a dominant driver of change across the global south, particularly in southeast asia. understanding our climate futures well supports disaster preparedness.

urban authorities have long shirked responsibilities in enriching rural wellbeing. avoiding acknowledgement of the provinces' role as hinterlands perpetuates the decimation of rural economies, splintering rural communities in favour of slaving for urban economies.
