Her latest work investigates the co-design of 'infrastructures of care' as a pathway for stimulating responsive solutions to the polycrisis.
Dr. Camponeschi is also the founder of Enabling City, an international organization devoted to stimulating new imaginaries for transformative social change. She is the author of two popular publications, Enabling City Volumes 1 and 2, that are available in 5 languages, and has spoken at events such as the White House GreenGov Symposium in Washington, D.C., the ICLEI Resilience Cities conference in Germany, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' Sustainable Communities conference, as well as the inaugural South by Southwest Eco conference in Austin, Texas.
