Logistics as method: design and pluriversal politics in Rosario

Leandro Minuchin

City, 2025, vol. 29, issue 3-4, 615-627

Abstract: There is a novel set of material interventions sweeping across South America that is not only questioning the agency and tools deployed by formal planning institutions, but also challenging the remit and political potential of design. Extending Escobar’s call to mobilise design to imagine post-extractivist worlds, the paper introduces the notion of logistics to explore means of operationalising modes of interdependence and relationality. Based on Ciudad Futura’s project in the outskirts of Rosario to develop a public food company, the paper argues that popular logistics act as a method for both describing the articulation of novel forms of pluriversal politics and organising novel action-research agendas.
