The research project Ciudades Auto-Sostenibles Amaz贸nicas (CASA), coordinated by BUDD alumna Bel茅n Desmaison (PUCP), with the involvement of DPU鈥檚 Camillo Boano and Giovanna Astolfo, develops a participatory process with local communities, local authorities and the national government to co-produce sustainable spatialities and promote alternative livelihoods systems in the Amazonas, starting from local technologies and knowledges. The project aims to create evidence-based methodology for a more participatory implementation process of preventive relocations. The project looks at the city of Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon, where a massive relocation process of around 16,000 people living in the flood-prone low-district of Bel茅n is undergoing amid great difficulties and resistance. The government-led relocation has been implemented following a DRM policy released in 2011 and as part of the national programme 鈥淧rograma Nuestras Ciudades鈥�; despite many positive pioneering aspects, the decision-making process was centralised and the project poorly articulated, failing to capture the socio-spatial complexity of the context. Particularly, the relocation threatens the traditional spatial organisation of Amazon鈥檚 communities, negatively impacting the livelihoods system.
