POST-PANDEMIC AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT: REFLECTIONS IN UNCERTAINTY TIMES

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all social, community, social and subjective areas. In local development, this situation has had devastating effects on which it is still early to assess its long-term effects, although we can refer to a "before" and an "after" , in a "post-pandemic world" . For local urban development, inserted in a context of political polarization and profound transformations, it is presented as a period of conceptual rethinking, of acceleration of transformations, and also of risks. Contingency appears as a new description framework, in which local development, in its organizational and political aspect, should explore emerging concepts and rethink the hegemonic logics and theories.
