Welcome to SICC, the Research group at the University of Valencia on Spaces in Conflict and Crisis. We focus our research in social and environmental conflicts linked to land-uses, as well as to spaces in crisis, such as shrinking regions or abandoned spaces from a perspective of critical geography.
New book: La ciudad: economía, espacio, sociedad y medio ambiente
After almost two years of hard work we have been finally published a new reference book for students and academics interested in urban issues. La ciudad: economía, espacio, sociedad y medio ambiente has a inter-disciplinary approach to the study of the city as a science itself. Economists, geographers, sociologists and urban planners participated in the project, which was directed by Prof. Josep Sorribes. Prof.Luis del Romero participated in this work with three chapters dedicated to social cohesion, right to the city and urban conflicts and urban ecology. You can find more details about the book here.
