Previously, I worked in Barcelona in a project which might be interesting for you: it was an ethnographic research about a peripheral neighbourhood sentenced for demolition, in which a series of architects were involved, and that ended up proposing alternative ideas for planning. Check it at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1548-1433.2012.01453.x/abstract In Barcelona there are several other issues you might want to explore. I'm a member of a workgroup supervised by anthropologist Manuel Delgado (he had been mentioned in a previous reply to your mail); we are currently giving a series of lessons about the social consequences of architecture, with a multidisciplinary approach involving architects, anthropologists, urban planners. If you are interested in some of these activities, write me and I'll send you more informations. greetings, stefano On 03.02.2014 18:09, Cathy Baldwin wrote: > ****************************************************** > * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * > * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * > * online discussions, teaching and research resources * > * and international contacts directory. * > ****************************************************** > > Hi there, > > I wondered if any anthropologists have been involved in city planning, > urban design or renewal projects advising the planners, designers, > local government, or corporate sector on incorporating social thinking > into the design process so that city infrastructure is created with > the needs of people in mind.
