บทคัดย่อ
This article applies the Literary Method of Urban Design to forecast the future of three Argentinian cities: Tigre, Buenos Aires, and Mendoza. Using themes from key Argentine literary works—Leopoldo Lugones' Strange Forces, José Mármol's Amalia, and Antonio di Benedetto's Animal World—the study explores in artistic (scenario art) form how these cities might evolve till the end of this century in response to technological, ecological, and socio-political changes. Each novel listed above is employed as a speculative lens to imagine urban futures, intertwining the literary arts with urban studies, future studies, and graphic art. The analysis reveals how literature, by presenting complex, often cautionary tales, can inform urban design and future-thinking, offering insights into the possible challenges and opportunities of urban life. The essay underscores the importance of reimagining urban landscapes by embracing both human and non-human perspectives and balancing technological ambitions with ecological mindfulness.
