A expansão do pluriverso: cidades educadoras polifônicas colaborações do design estratégico na construção de uma cidade educadora

Abstract

The pluriverse is a concept that recognizes the existence of multiple possible universes, presenting itself as an alternative to the oppressive universalism imposed by modernity. The emergence of narratives considered subaltern, coupled with the present challenges in environmental, social, economic, and spiritual matters, demands systemic solutions for the construction of a more sustainable, ethical, and plural future. In this context, strategic design plays a fundamental role as it has the capacity to review evidence from the past, propose new perspectives and actions in the present, and envision alternative futures, significantly impacting communities.This methodology values dialogue, multidisciplinarity, and collective creativity, contributing to the construction of a perspective of an educative polyphonic city. The aim of this research is to bring together a set of narratives constructed by citizen communities, offering an intuitive understanding of how Porto Alegre, the Educative City, can be built by embracing diverse perspectives, social dynamics, and community voices. In advocating for a Polyphonic Educating City through Strategic Design, it becomes possible to broaden the Pluriverse - by means of yet another popular alternative stemming from the Global South.
