About Urban Appropriation Strategies conference
In European cities today, there is a prevalent notion that urban dwellers should have the right to public places, where both the individual can unfold, create, play, dream or simply rest, and where established communities are strengthened and new ones are allowed to be made. The growing demand from both individuals and local communities to be able to influence urban planning processes and the joint structuring of individual neighbourhoods reflects this notion. Ultimately, it touches on the pressing debate about how we are to create liveable and open-minded cityscapes for a growing and diverse urban population.
In this conference we would like to discuss a variety of perspectives on urban appropriation strategies, its relation to public space-making and its implications for future city development. What does urban appropriation involve outside its immediate spatiality? How does it link to ideas of appropriation of socio-cultural narratives, of politico-historical occasions as well as of nature and the more-than-human in urban landscapes? We aim to explore this subject through 3 interdisciplinary panels comprising architecture, European ethnology, human geography, urban ecology, sociology, landscape architecture and design research.
