Whose city? - Participatory Strategies and Current Practices in Urban Studies
The question "Whose city?" repeatedly plays a role when it comes to identifying and including stakeholders while also identifying potentials for urban development. The practice covers a wide range of different approaches and how these are applied by urbanists, architects, geographers and sociologists concerned with the development of the urban strata.
At the international forum, best practice examples ranged from the deconstruction of infrastructure in housing estates from the GDR time, to questions of policy strategies for the management of public goods in Iran. Citizen participation on different scales from block to region were shown for the Amsterdam region, as well as for the Equity Index for Long Island, New York and the influence of participation in the designs for repairing the urban structure of Hannover. Further presentations included Frankfurt airport extension, the redevelopment of an open mining area within IBA 2010, a housing survey for the City of Lovech, Bulgaria, as well as concepts for a touristic BID in Thuringia and the Soziale Stadt programme. Examples of a wide-ranged participation of institutional and private actors in research and model projects on suburbanisation and land consumption were shown within the context of the REFINA programme. Integrative strategies for retail development at HafenCity Hamburg, as well as projects in the context of municipal land use planning and careful urban renewal in Chile or participation in heritage preservation in Los Angeles were further topics of the conference.
