Resum

L’ecologia política urbana és una disciplina emergent que proporciona un enfocament multidisciplinari i una metodologia innovadora per fer l’anàlisi del canvi socioambiental que té lloc als assentaments urbans. Segons aquesta, les barreres més grans que trobem per aconseguir «ciutats sostenibles» són polítiques, i els objectius i les possibilitats d’aconseguir-los estan subjectes a relacions de poder. Per tant, aquests objectius haurien de ser assolits mitjançant, d’una banda, l’anàlisi dels condicionants polítics, socials, econòmics, culturals i ambientals que produeixen un paisatge urbà determinat, i, d’una altra, a través de l’examen de l’estructura i l’organització de les relacions de poder i l’expressió social i institucional d’aquestes relacions. Així, la pregunta canvia de com es poden aconseguir ciutats sostenibles a quines han estat les condicions que promouen l’adopció de determinades «pràctiques sostenibles» per sobre d’unes altres.
