The Framework of Ecological Democracy: Make a City to Touch the People's Hearts and Change the World

Abstract

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, I would like to introduce the process of collaborative thinking in the midst of a global disaster and some outputs on how the city form should be changed. I will also explain ecological democracy, which is the undercurrent of this collaborative work. The framework of a city in the future is constrained by the framework of the earth, such as global warming and biocultural diversity, yet cherished by the framework of individual life, consisting of the fairness and cooperation of the people. The latter two frameworks require the city framework to meet them. The key to all three frameworks is collaboration with nature. A city form that is prepared for global disasters will allow people to constantly come into contact with nature and restore their ability to cooperate and collaborate.
