Book Synopsis
The focus of this book has been concentrated on a criticism of the current resilience strategies: how adapting an anachronistic model simply perpetuates its obsolescence, and despite generating temporary improvements, it does not offer us in its reformist vision a real solution to the problems that we will have to face.
The focus of this book has been concentrated on current resilience strategies, a useful concept to understand and act in a complex, global world with signs of imbalances in the urban models that came from the past, but that has become a wildcard easy to use.
The increasing impossibility of encrypting the term resilience, of approaching it from more reliable scientific principles, leads us to a conceptual drift that this book echoes. Far from understanding and preparing for a system change, resilient thinking is presented on many occasions as a survival table that facilitates the permanence of the established model, promoting small strategic modifications to a trust in a system that is increasingly compromised.
