🌱 We use the Capability Approach as a bridge between these frameworks, tested through embodied place-based workshops in novel urban ecologies.

🌱 Our findings highlight how recognizing more-than-hunan agencies can help identify vulnerabilities and opportunities for multispecies flourishing in urban settings.

🌱 We argue for the untapped potential of novel ecologies as crucial sites for just a d biodiverse urban futures.
