More than all other spaces, cities, as “anthropogenic biomes” or “anthromes” (Ellis/ Ramankutty 2008), are determined by humans.
Yet, they are also home to a multitude of living organisms and particularly vulnerable to the effects of the current ecological crisis. In order to reflect on the complexity of ecological processes and human- nonhuman interactions in city spaces, the Thematic Research Network “Umwelten – Umbrüche – Umdenken” and the BMBF-Project “Worldmaking from a Global Perspective” at Heidelberg University are organising an international, interdisciplinary Fall School on the topic of Urban Ecologies. The fall school is combined with an international conference entitled “Creating the ‘Good Life’ in the City: Urban Spaces in Times of Change, Challenge and Crisis”. All participants of the fall school will take part in the conference and are strongly encouraged to use the opportunity to get new impulses and discuss with experts of the field. Engaging with the interdisciplinary field of ‘Urban Ecology’ and complementing it with perspectives of various disciplines in the natural and social sciences and humanities, the fall school will thus explore dynamics of urban transformation by looking into ways in which different actors shape and negotiate these processes, trying to find ways to make cities spaces worth living in for all of their inhabitants – human and non-human alike.
