Architecture and Cities Research Forum: Place-based Strategies for Climate Resilience: Caxias do Sul, Brazil by Luz Navarro and Giulio Verdini

In May 2024, Caxias do Sul, in Rio Grande do Sul of Brazil, was struck by a devastating flood that resulted in over a hundred fatalities, numerous injuries, and the evacuation of thousands of residents. Research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) enabled the authors to conduct a series of workshops in Galópolis, Caxias do Sul in March 2025, highlighing potential pathways for transformative action toward building the city more resiliently.
