Dear colleagues, we hope this panel may be of interest to some of the CAT members: Call for abstracts: P16: “Large housing estates: (re)structuring urban inequalities and civic life” Panel at ISA-RC21 in Delhi, September 18-21, 2019 https://rc21delhi2019.com/ Submission deadline: January 20 P16: “Large housing estates: (re)structuring urban inequalities and civic life” Large Housing Estates (LHE) are an inevitable part of the modern urban landscape. Enabled by the development in construction technologies and social policies after the WWII, this housing form first has been seen a solution to a housing crisis, and later as a problem: LHEs were described as difficult to govern, prone to concentration and reproduction of poverty, and negatively affecting the life chances of those living there. Most of the research has been conducted in the countries of the Global North (Aalbers and Rancati 2008; Andersson and Musterd 2005; Kempen and Dekker 2005; Wassenberg 2013; Hess, Tammaru, and van Ham 2018). Recently, the Eastern European LHE, “inherited” from the socialist past of these countries, are an emerging topic (Szafrańska 2013; Herfert, Neugebauer, and Smigiel 2013; Andrews and Sendi 2001; Soaita 2012). Evidence from the countries in the Global South (Glasze and Alkhayyal 2002; Janoschka and Borsdorf 2004) suggests that this urban form is truly global and developing; the estates around the world share some commonalities, but also differ due to cultural contexts, urban environments, and housing policies. The aim of this panel is to explore the role of LHEs in cities around the world today. We invite papers that look both at the internal dynamics, including lived experiences in large housing estates, and at the role of the LHEs in the cities, the ways they shape and restructure urban inequalities, mobilities, and civic life. The discussion on LHEs will contribute to the development of new ontologies raising a question about the key elements of urban life. The panel welcomes contributions from all over the world to start mapping the different scenarios of LHEs and to show that their role in the contemporary urban world could not be reduced to some well-known dimensions of the city life, they usually put into, such as suburban, social housing, or problematic “heritage.” Convenors: Oksana Zaporozhets - [log in to unmask]; Anna Zhelnina - [log in to unmask] Submission Instructions: 1. please send your abstract directly to the Convenor at the email-id listed here(and cc-d to [log in to unmask]). 2. For those submitting abstracts to panel/stream convenors, each abstract submission must be accompanied by Panel or Stream Number (P1, P2.. or S1, S2..), Panel or Stream Name (where panel is part of a stream), Author last name in the Subject Line. The abstract must not exceed 300 words and should clearly indicate the title of the paper, research questions, theoretical contribution and connection to the panel theme. Author details about institutional affiliation must also be included. -- *Anna Zhelnina* *PhD Candidate, City University of New York* ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CITIESAFTERTRANSITION list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CITIESAFTERTRANSITION&A=1
