Abstract
This thesis examines how urban development and municipal policy internatize global North-South dynamics, translating them into local actions that, through the prerogative of sustainable development, prioritize private profit and often exclude the very groups capable of offering sustainable alternatives. By highlighting the impacts of these policies on marginalized populations, this work advances through theoretical and practical pathways toward rooted spatial knowledge building. It emphasizes place-based environmental epistemologies as powerful sources of resistance and transformation, offering insights into how locally grounded practices can challenge the commodification of land and reimagine urban futures.
