Abstract
The present article explores the nature of urban coexistence between human and other- than-human beings, using the notion of a 'war of the worlds' that takes place in the city as analysis framework. Through the analysis of study cases, it is shown how cartography can constitute a powerful tool for interspecies domination, and how, on the other hand, it can also be used as a valuable tool for resistance from the perspective of the other-than-human species with which we share the city. We conclude by advocating for a more inclusive approach to interspecies relations and the transformation of cities into spaces of coexistence.
