Annual Report for 2017
Organized by Stefania Ragozino, Burcu Yigit Turan, and Mohamed Saleh, in collaboration with further TG members

Introduction

Public Spaces and Urban Cultures (PSUC) is a thematic group established in April 2010 with the initiative of Sabine Knierbein (Associate Professor, TU Vienna, Austria), Ceren Sezer (Architect and urban planner, TU Delft, Urban 4, Netherlands) and Chiara Tornaghi (Reader, Coventry University, United Kingdom). The main aim of the group is to generate an international and interdisciplinary exchange between the research and practices in public spaces and urban cultures. By doing so, it aims to support research, planning and a design agenda within the AESOP community, and beyond.

In 2017, the Group continued its endeavors to involve practitioners, academics, governmental and non-governmental professionals, and further interest groups into the TG’s activities and exchange of knowledge across disciplines and domains of action through meetings, workshops, conferences, and roundtables. During 2017, the group’s membership rose to over 80 professionals working with public space, including practitioners and researchers, from both Europe and beyond. The year 2017 was important as a ‘strengthening year’ because the umbrella topic “Unstable geographies – Dislocated publics” (2016-2018) has been deeply investigated and the new self-organized management group have been operatively managed by active members (see list below).

Internal organization of the group

A collective made up of group members organizes the activities of the PSUC. Some of the tasks ofthe core group are: to establish the Group’s agenda (working topics, calls, meetings); to manage communication via various media (homepage, blog, Facebook, mailing list, newsletter) among theGroup’s members;to prepare meeting and annual reports; to disseminate scientific results; to promote a strong involvement into research and publication affairs; as well as towards a broader audience and the AESOP Secretary General.

The list of members who managed the Group’s activities in 2017 (in alphabetic order):

Katarzyna Bartoszewicz (Poland), Nadia Charalambosu (Cyprus), Gabriella Esposito De Vita (Italy), Sabine Knierbein (Austria/Germany),Elina Kränzle (Austria/Germany), Weronika Mazurkiewicz (Poland), Matej Niksic (Slovenia), Stefania Ragozino (Italy), Nikolai Roskamm (Germany), Mohamed Saleh (The Netherlands), Sara Santos Cruz (Portugal), Ceren Sezer (Netherlands/Turkey), Tihomir Viderman (Austria/Croatia), Burcu Yigit Turan (Sweden).

Special acknowledgments are extended to Professor Ali Madanipour (University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) and Professor Sophie Watson (Open University, UK), who have generously contributed to the group’s meetings with their wide expertise in the fields of public spaces and urban cultures.

During 2017 meetings, a shared intention has emerged to develop an advisory board to support and improve the efforts of the self-organization group. It would include founders, coordinators and external expert volunteers. The forthcoming AESOP Gothenburg Annual Congress will offer the opportunity to open the debate and decide in which way engage new expert volunteers.

Group’s activities in 2017

This year was entirely dedicated to the working theme Unstable Geographies – Dislocated Publics (2016-2018) of which the first meeting was organized in November 2016 in Beirut, Lebanon. During 2017, current umbrella theme programmed meetings took place: Wien (Austria, 29th-31st March 2017), Ljubljana (Slovenia, 23rd-26thMay 2017), Lisbon (Portugal, 11th-14thJuly 2017), and Rome (Italy, 11th-13rdDecember 2017). Preliminary organizations have been implemented for forthcoming events: Nicosia (Cyprus, 16-18th May 2018), Amsterdam (Netherlands, 28th-30th June 2018), and Gothenburg, (Sweden, 10-14thJuly 2018).

Table of the TG’s current working themeevents (2016-2018)

Note: Apart from the general AESOP Annual Conference Meetings, the AESOP TG PSUC has established the policy that all meetings should be free of cost to (AESOP TG members and that affordable accommodation proposals are provided by the local host.

In times of open call for hosting an AESOP TG PSUC, group members and other interested parties could submit a proposal for hosting a TG event (conference/call for abstract/call for paper/workshop/meeting) about current themes of the PSUC Thematic Group. This proposal should contain information about timing, place, host institution, concept and issues to deepen.

Once the event has been accepted and scheduled, the working group has been constituted from local members and TG representatives, the working group will work on the call that will be shared with active TG members prior to dissemination in order to start the discussion of themes of relevance and to promote the participation to the event. A finally agreed version of the call will be shared with local and TG network through Social Media and Public Relations TG volunteers.

Developing the umbrella topic “Unstable Geographies – Dislocated Publics”

The working theme Unstable Geographies – Dislocated Publics recognizes public spaces, as a manifestation of cities’ different everyday cultures, as valuable social and cultural capital of urban societies. They have increasingly been celebrated as crossroads of different interests, backgrounds, and values, allowing – ifnot inviting – diverse urban populations to enjoy the fruits of (past) emancipatory struggle(s). A thriving scene of actors and performative practices mainly rooted in the fields of urban design and planning for the city centres and adjacent districts, engages in creating places of everyday life for multiple city publics. This renaissance of diverse public spaces, however, takes place against the bleak backdrop painted by fear and uncertainty now also spilling onto the privileged part of the world, which has found itself overwhelmed by the scale of the recent crisis of capitalism and the increased mobilities of refugees and migrants, rendering public spaces important sites of humanitarian aid and protection of human and refugee rights. A response carved out by policymakers and institutions, which has not shied away from morally ambiguous means to put capitalism back on track and curb the influx of (uninvited) people, has shown that the institutions and the order of the West, while building on the achievements of past emancipatory struggles, often sustain hostile practices of exclusion and othering, and is undergoing fundamental shifts as well. A number of initiatives and activists’ movements stand in opposition to neo-colonial, nationalist and xenophobic practices, calling on urban publics and emerging cultures to challenge and rethink the prevailing political and institutional ethics. In the meantime, a strong call for strengthening dialogue and mutual learning between cities and regions of the Global South and of the Global North is gaining momentum in urban research and practice. The Unstable Geographies – Dislocated Publics series combines inclusive urban theory, methods, and practice to promote (post)migrational perspectives between different world regions and their cities. It simultaneously reflects on the changing structural constraints in times of multiple crises in which public space is emphasized in various, partly contradictory ways: social, cultural, ecological, political, and economic. Our standpoint takes public spaces as a key catalyst in the process of accommodating diverse cultural values and meeting basic human needs and rights. Among many salient and urgent issues that need to inform current planning, design, and research communities both in theory and practice, we suggest focusing on four main subtopics:

1. City, refugees, and migration

2. Fragmented social fabric – individualised patterns of consumption

3. The decline of national politics – Resurgence of the urban political

4. Change of perspective – worlding urban studies

CITIZEN SENSING - URBAN CLIMATE RESILIENCE

Duration: 2017-2020

Coordinator: Tina-Simone Neset, Linköping University

Coordinator from CITTA: Sara Santos Cruz (CITTA/FEUP)

Partners: Linköping University, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Deltares

Funding scheme: ERA4CS

Themes and expected results: Urban citizens continually make a multitude of decisions related to climate-related risks e.g. extreme temperatures, precipitation, flooding, water and air pollution and their impacts and these are most often made without clear knowledge of locally specific conditions. With new technologies such as citizen sensing, there is an emerging opportunity for citizens to enhance urban resilience, both as providers of locally situated data (e.g. bacteria levels in drinking water, infrastructure damage or ecological changes) and as receivers of specific recommendations of how to respond to climate-related challenges. Objectives (1) to develop a Participatory Risk Management System that incorporates place-specific information, links to existing guidelines on urban climate risk management and adaptation, and functions as an integrative platform for citizens and relevant organizations at different scales (2) to analyze if, how and to what extent the Participatory Risk Management System has potential to increase preparedness and appropriate responses by citizens and authorities to increase urban climate resilience in different European and climate contexts

CALL FOR PAPERS – Deadline September 16, 2018

THE POLITICS OF VISIBILITY IN PUBLIC SPACE

Special issue for Space and Culture (Sage Publications Inc.)

Guest editors:

Ceren Sezer / Delft University of Technology, Urbanism, the Netherlands

Freek Janssens / University of Leeds, School of Geography, United Kingdom

Theme:

The visibility of individuals or groups in public space is a conceptual tool useful to assess the ‘public’ character of space, allowing to examine the local socio-spatial conditions for recognition, civic participation, safety and surveillance. Visibility is understood as the condition of seeing and being seen of individuals or groups, who are identifiable as diverse through their cultural, sexual, and/or other type of manifestation.

In this special issue, we investigate the politics of visibility in public space in terms of the relations between various socio-spatial practices that construct, claim, improve, suppress, or control visibility. The main questions that we ask are:

  1.  What conceptual frameworks are useful to examine the relationship between visibility and public space?
  2.  What are the ethical, methodological and other challenges of studying visibility as an explanatory framework of urban inquiry?

We aim to bring together an interdisciplinary collection of high-quality papers based on original empirical research on this topic. Interested contributors are invited to submit a 500-word abstract to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.<mailto:This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.>. The abstract should include:

  *   Title and keywords;
  *   Author(s)’ name, current affiliation and e-mail address;
  *   Research questions, methodology, findings of the research;
  *   Maximum five key references;
  *   Short bio and a list of recent publications by the author(s); and
  *   If applicable, two related images at a good resolution (min. 200dpi).

The deadline for abstract submission is September 16, 2018. After preliminary review by the guest editors, the selected authors will be invited to submit a full paper by September 30, 2018. The deadline for submitting full papers is February 3, 2019. The selected papers will proceed for blind review process with Space and Culture (Sage Publications Inc.).
