Situated technologies : a radical planning tool for popular economies

A massive expansion of social exclusion in cities, induced by neoliberal models, crystallized in Latin America through the privatization of the public sector, reduction of the welfare-state, financial speculation and abusive extraction of natural resources. The aspiration of solidarity economies emerged in part as a counterproposal, challenging the institutions, norms, values, and practices that organize the current economic process of urban production and consumption. The main objective of a solidarity economy is to generate the material foundation to fulfill community-level needs by creating a discreet, territorialized economy which recognizes and prioritizes the social- and use-value of local transactions.
