Choose one of the questions below for your reflection note:

1. In what ways do urban ecological systems (such as green spaces, waterways, or informal infrastructures) shape everyday life and survival strategies in cityscapes?
2. How does Bettina Stoetzer’s concept of “ruderal ecologies” challenge conventional distinctions between nature and culture in urban environments? What does this reveal about resilience in migrant and marginalized communities?
3. How can we rethink urban neglect as a condition that can generate alternative forms of life, adaptation, and ecological interaction?
