City Plaza was an abandoned hotel in the center of Athens, squatted in April 2016, in the midst of what was named a “refugee crisis”. In the 39 months that it operated, it became a home to more than 2.500 refugees from more than 10 different countries. Still, what was achieved in City Plaza was beyond that: a community of solidarity and struggle was ‘manufactured’, and City Plaza gradually became a symbol of resistance to the dominant policies of control and repression of migration. This paper focuses on the analysis of the multiple practices and scales of space. The aim is to think around the manifold and interrelated spatial scales, structures, relations and practices that dialectically constructed and were constructed within and beyond City Plaza.

LIPU is a non-profit association founded in the 1960s committed to the conservation of nature, the protection of biodiversity and the promotion of ecological culture in Italy. This paper traces the events that marked its history, investigating the aims, initiatives and results achieved. A specific case study is then addressed, that of the Centro Habitat Mediterraneo in Ostia, which is a virtuous example of the recovery and enhancement of a previously abandoned area, now transformed into a place where environment and culture interact in a particularly dynamic reality with marked connotations of social inclusiveness.

The Covid-19 pandemic drove the emergence of grassroots solidarity initiatives designed to alleviate the impact of the subsequent health, economic and social crisis. Some of these initiatives were organised collectively in a process which can be considered as social innovation. Taking the city of Valencia (Spain) as a case study, this paper examines the grassroots solidarity initiatives which sprang up in the first wave of the pandemic, analysing their features, their relationship with previous initiatives and their roots in the territory to make an initial assessment of their potential for social transformation.

The analysis of the Patagonian literature from a geographical perspective allows to show some recurring themes, with which the characters of the various works measure and confront each other, constructing and affirming their identity in relation to the places. Among the recognized themes is that of regional citizenship in a condition of cross-border marginality, in which the internal and international migratory phenomenon overlaps with the reshaping and rediscovery of the identities of pre-existing populations, while tourism commercializes the imaginary.

Environmental education is vital for raising awareness of sustainable development. Zero Waste is a holistic model that goes beyond waste reduction and recycling, and calls for a reshaping of contemporary modes of production and consumption while also promoting active citizenship awareness. Exploring Zero Waste principles, this article situates and demonstrates its alignment with key international documents, such as the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Already used in some educational contexts, the Zero Waste model has the potential to encourage a new perspective to fundamentally reconsider and redesign our relationship to what it means to be actively more sustainable, through a systemic and circular approach. We outline how educational geography and sustainability practices can both benefit from, and support, a dialogue with Zero Waste principles.

In the Italian literary panorama, Gianni Celati occupies a complex interstitial space between fiction and field investigation. His significant narratives dedicated to the Po landscape has become the symbol of an ethnographic research, in which the author has chosen to play the role of a simple ‘mediator of stories’ to return the ‘hearsay’ of people. This paper intends to offer two different geographical readings relating to these writings, recalling both the humanistic and territorialist approach of geography. The final goal is twofold: on the one hand to understand how the territory was perceived by the author and on the other to identify the territorialization process inherent in the tales themselves.

Participation has emerged as a form of development that has taken an important place in the official options of most countries. This trend has been especially reinforced with the disengagement of the State and the emergence of civil society as a development actor. The economic and social development of local communities is a major mission entrusted to them by the new charter. But the question we are asking ourselves is the following: is the community able to achieve such development on its own and without the contribution of other stakeholders? All the stakeholders in situ, such as local representatives, local authorities, civil servants, local population and entrepreneurs are supposed to contribute their part in order to achieve such development projects. Understanding the clauses of the participation of actors in development projects as well as the other actions carried out by the upstream municipalities of Oueltana (Azilal province, Morocco) enables us have a deep insight into the context and framework within which actors’ communication takes place. More interestingly, such understanding helps have a view about the types of relations that these actors hold among each other. In doing so, we could easily identify the scope of future mobilization and accountability actions so that they can finally follow the territorial development process.

The argument of separation between humans and nature has nurtured a rich narrative of theorizations striving to find application in the field of development and spatial change. This paper aims to chart a progressive separation of humans from the sea by adopting a grounded theory approach. In selected seaside towns, urban regeneration and tourism rejuvenation have contributed to crystalizing the separation of humans from the sea therefore calling for the need to revert the point of view over the conception of these measures by ‘reuniting with the sea’. It is therefore concluded that yachting tourism has potentially a strategic role to play in this shift, but further investigation is needed in order to reconsider it within alternative approaches to development through tourism.
