- Abstract
- Socio-environmental crisis are also crisis of imagination.

This research finds that Taranto’s social movements envision different ways to re-make a sustainable and lively city in which environmental sustainability does not necessarily exclude social sustainability. Furthermore, it finds that imagining alternative futures is a way to re-politicise the conflict and raise questions of socio-environmental transformative justice. By joining social movements’ theories to that of social imaginaries, this research reflects on social movements´ role in shaping society´s imaginaries and potential to change. (Less)
