Call for Papers: SIEF 2017 - Ways of dwelling: Crises, Craft,
Creativity (26-30 March) Goettingen, Germany
PANEL URBA01 "URBAN DEVELOPMENT FROM BELOW"
City development involves several kinds of actors, groups, initiatives
and institutions, each with their own vision and agenda of an
appropriate materialization of socio-spatial standards and living
conditions. Political, ecological, sociocultural and economic changes
and challenges affect the visions and strategies of the involved
stakeholders. Thinking of political and social changes during the last
decades, the rising gap between the rich and the poor, the change from
Fordism to Post-Fordism, financial crises, social restructuring,
environmental disasters and of course war and migration create
challenges that affect the materialization of cities. They also
influence the governance of cities in ways of (re)distribution,
redefinition and valuation of space. At the same time, it effects the
way the cities are constructed and imagined in terms of how people
think about their rights to housing and living in the city, the
planning of new buildings and housing districts and public space, but
also preservation of existing neighborhoods.
The panel aims to introduce different ethnographic research
examples that deal with the implementation of urban development
from below and contesting actors. What are the problems and
successes of such projects on an every-day level during the phase
of development and its aftermath?
Deadline: November 7th
All proposals must be made via the online system
