Spatial Commons. Urban open spaces as a resource
Space has to be discussed once one focuses on the commons, the natural and cultural resources securing the well-being of a community. The question of availability of these resources includes asking for the place where they are accessible or where they are made accessible and thus always the question of the spatial organization of this society. This publication wants to provide a first overview about historical types of commons, about contemporary theories on urban commons, and speculate about possible forms of future commoning. Die Beschäftigung mit den Gemeingütern, den elementaren natürlichen und kulturellen Ressourcen, die dem Wohle der Gemeinschaft dienen, fordert auch eine Auseinande...
Handbook of Qualitative and Visual Methods in Spatial Research
Listening, experiencing, drawing or interpreting spaces: narratives, experiences, visualizations and discourses can be helpful for the empirical investigation of spaces. This interdisciplinary handbook presents a broad spectrum of established methods and innovative method development to capture and understand different facets of spaces. Instructive explanations and concrete examples make the varied qualitative methods of spatial research understandable and applicable across disciplines. The theoretical and methodological aspects of qualitative spatial research form the framework of this handbook.
Urbanization and Locality
Based on a discussion of conflicts in the urbanization process, this book provides theoretical and practical solutions for the preservation and development of urban localities. On the basis of informative case studies, it reveals the similarities and unique aspects of urbanization in Germany and China. The process of urban growth and the future trend of locality and urbanization are also examined. The book gathers contributions from architects, landscape designers, environmental engineers, urban planners and geographers, who analyze urban issues from their individual perspectives and provide methods for preserving and developing urban localities. As such, it expresses responses to urban development trends against the backdrop of sustainability in the 21st century.
Critical Mapping for Municipalist Mobilization
CMMM is a project that accompanied and was oriented by the priorities of municipalist activists in Belgrade, Berlin, and Barcelona. Spanning over 3.5 years from 2019 to 2023, it captured and supported the efforts of the Ministry of Space collective, AKS Gemeinwohl, Häuser Bewegen GIMA eG., Kollektiv Raumstation, and Observatori DESC to change the political paradigms shaping the contemporary housing emergency in the three cities. Coordinated by K LAB (TU Berlin) and supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the CMMM team employed various formats of critical mapping to display the legislations, policies, events, hierarchies, as well as the main actors and factors that are shaping the housing cr...
Water-Related Urbanization and Locality
This book discusses the protection, planning, and design of sustainable urban water environments. Against the backdrop of environmental changes, it addresses issues of water resource protection and sustainable development in China and Germany at different stages of urbanization, as well as relevant strategies and lessons learned. It focuses on three topics: balance between water environment protection and utilization in the urbanization process; sustainable use of water resources in the urbanization process; and water-related planning and design strategies in urbanization and local cultural development processes. In the context of water resources, China and Germany can learn from each otherâ...
Communicative Constructions and the Refiguration of Spaces
The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com , has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license Through a variety of empirical studies, this volume offers fresh insights into the manner in which different forms of communicative action transform urban space. With attention to the methodological questions that arise from the attempt to study such changes empirically, it offers new theoretical foundations for understanding the social construction and reconstruction of spaces through communicative action. Seeing communicative action as the basic element in the social construction of reality and conceptualizing comm...
Handbuch qualitative und visuelle Methoden der Raumforschung
Räume zu erforschen bedeutet dem Sprechen über Räume zuzuhören, die Räume selbst zu erleben, zeichnerisch zu erfassen und zu interpretieren. Das interdisziplinäre Handbuch zu Methoden der qualitativen Raumforschung präsentiert ein breites Spektrum etablierter Methoden und innovativer Methodenentwicklung und führt somit Ansätze der Raumforschung aus der Soziologie, Architektur, Stadtforschung und der Geographie erstmals systematisch zusammen. Auf diese Weise wird es möglich, verschiedene Facetten von Räumen zu erfassen und zu verstehen und aufeinander zu beziehen. Instruktive Erläuterungen und konkrete Beispiele machen die sehr unterschiedlichen qualitativen Methoden der Raumforschung disziplinenübergreifend verständlich und anwendbar.Den Rahmen bilden dabei eine Pluralität von theoretischen und methodologischen Ansätzen. Einen Schwerpunkt bilden dabei visuelle Methoden.
