SOCIETY FOLLOWS CLIMATE NOT THE INVERSE

摘要

THE INTERVIEWERS WERE MY INVISIBLE DOG, NAMED KOPEK, AND MY LATE CAT, FLORENTIN. I FOUND IT APPROPRIATE THAT THEY BELONGED TO SPECIES OTHER THAN OUR OWN, AS THEIR POINTS OF VIEW SHOW THE PARTS IN A LIGHT THAT DIFFERS TO THE HUMAN PERSPECTIVE. IN ORDER TO FACILITATE UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERVIEW, I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A FEW INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS. URBAN DESIGN, IN ITSELF, HAS LITTLE DIRECT INFLUENCE ON CLIMATE CHANGE. CONVERSELY, CLIMATE CHANGE HAS RATHER IMPORTANT CONSEQUENCES ON URBAN DESIGN, AND ON PLANNING IN GENERAL. LET US IMAGINE, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT THE FUTURE CLIMATE OF SICILY AND SOUTHERN EUROPE COULD BECOME GLACIAL, AND THAT THE SAHARA AND THE SAHEL MIGHT BECOME WARM AND HUMID.%GLI INTERVISTATORI SONO: IL MIO CANE INVISIBILE, PI NOME KOPEK, E IL MIO DEFUNTO SATTO, FLORENTIN. MI É SEMBRATO CORRETTO CHE GLI INTERVISTATORI APPARTENESSERO A SPECIE DIVERSE VALLA NOSTRA: I LORO PUNTI PI VISTA FANNO VEPERE LE COSE SOTTO UNA LUCE DIVERSA.
