The CUE Critical Urban Ecology series aims to connect theoretical and actual territories, ideas and matter, objects and subjects. Following on from conceptual and interdisciplinary examinations of notions of urban ecology at CUE1 and CUE2, the third CUE event looks at territorial ecologies: speakers will explore the political, cultural and natural ecologies of expanded urban territories in the United States, South Africa, and South America. The event is part of the MArch programme in architecture and open to students, colleagues and the public.
