By Responsible City Team on Tue, Feb 10, 2026
In recent years, debates over environmental and power relations in/through the home have become increasingly urgent, particularly as housing decarbonization has emerged as a political priority. In her work, Dr. Melissa García-Lamarca approaches these issues from an urban political ecologies perspective, formulating a theoretical and political proposal of radical housing repair. In this lunch lecture, she will build on this conceptual work concerning pathways of housing decarbonization and on empirical analyses of its political economy in Spain. By approaching these issues as inherently political, Dr. García-Lamarca’s work speaks directly to the socio-ecological controversies at the heart of the responsible city project.
The event takes place online on 15 March 2026 from 12:30 to 13:30 CET and can be attended via this Zoom link. More information on the Lunch Lecture series can be obtained from the flyer below.
