Leipzig was a frontrunner in organizing the decentralized accommodation of asylum seekers when adopting its accommodation concept in 2012. This concept aimed at integrating asylum-seeking persons in the regular housing market at an early stage of arrival. However, since then, the city of Leipzig faces more and more challenges in implementing the concept. This is particularly due to the increasingly tight situation on the housing market while the number of people seeking protection increased and partly due to discriminating and xenophobic attitudes on the side of house owners and managers. Therefore, we argue that the so-called refugee crisis of 2015-2016 has to be seen in close interaction with a growing general housing shortage in Leipzig like in many other large European cities. Furthermore, we understand the municipal governing of housing as a contested field regarding its entanglement of diverse federal levels and policy scales, the diversity of stakeholders involved, and its dynamic change over the last years. We analyze this contested field set against the current context of arrival and dynamic urban growth on a local level. Based on empirical qualitative research that was conducted by us in 2016, Leipzig's local specifics will be investigated under the umbrella of our conceptual framework of Governance of Arrival. The issues of a strained housing market and the integration of asylum seekers in it do not apply only to Leipzig, but shed light on similar developments in other European Cities.}, subject = {Stadtplanung}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Torreiter, author = {Torreiter, Laura}, title = {St{\"a}dtebauliche Aufwertung im Leipziger Osten: Migrant:innen als Pioniere beim Erwerb und der Sanierung von Baudenkmalen}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.6408}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20230717-64081}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {209}, abstract = {Anhand der st{\"a}dtebaulichen und sozialen Transformation des {\"o}stlichen Gr{\"u}nderzeitgebietes von Leipzig wird die Rolle von migrantischen Hausbesitzenden und in der Bausanierung T{\"a}tigen im Aufwertungsprozess untersucht. Der Zugang zum Gegenstand verbindet Fragen der Stadtsoziologie und der Denkmalforschung. Im sozialen Feld der Stadterneuerung wird die Revitalisierung des ehemals von Leerstand und R{\"u}ckbau betroffenen Baubestandes ausgehandelt. Die Positionen der Akteur:innen im Feld werden durch ihre Ausstattung mit {\"o}konomischem, aber auch sozialem und kulturellem Kapital bestimmt. Angeh{\"o}rige der Planungs- und Denkmalbeh{\"o}rden verf{\"u}gen {\"u}ber institutionalisiertes Kulturkapital und stehen damit Kleineigent{\"u}mer:innen, h{\"a}ufig Autodidakt:innen, gegen{\"u}ber. Baudenkmale k{\"o}nnen {\"u}ber ihre Funktion als Geldanlage und Wohnraum hinaus Status repr{\"a}sentieren und symbolisch angeeignet werden. Denkmalschutz dient dem {\"o}ffentlichen Interesse am Erhalt historischer Bausubstanz. Bei Sanierungen bestehen die Herausforderungen der Vereinbarkeit von Konservierung und Modernisierung, der Finanzierbarkeit f{\"u}r Eigent{\"u}mer:innen und der Sozialvertr{\"a}glichkeit f{\"u}r Bewohnende. Eine Darstellung der historischen Entwicklung des Leipziger Ostens zu Beginn der Analyse veranschaulicht die Abh{\"a}ngigkeit kultureller, sozialer und {\"o}konomischer Werte des Baubestandes vom jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen Kontext. Planerische Konzepte f{\"u}r das Gebiet zeigen, dass eine sozio{\"o}konomische Stabilisierung und Imageverbesserung erreicht werden sollte durch das Aufgreifen von Potentialen, wie den denkmalgesch{\"u}tzten Bauten, dem zuziehenden alternativen Milieu und migrantischer {\"O}konomie. Es wird deutlich, dass nach einer initialen Ans{\"a}ssigkeit von Pionier:innen die {\"o}ffentlichen Infrastrukturmaßnahmen und Denkmalausweisungen eine Inwertsetzung v. a. durch externe Anlegende vorbereiteten. Darauf aufbauend wurden anhand einer qualitativen Befragung die Erfahrungen von st{\"a}dtischen Mitarbeitenden, Fachleuten und im Quartier Engagierten denen von lokalen migrantischen Hausbesitzenden und im Bereich Sanierung T{\"a}tigen gegen{\"u}bergestellt. Migrant:innengruppen haben den Stadtraum in einer Phase vorherrschender Abwanderung durch die Er{\"o}ffnung von Gesch{\"a}ften und Institutionen sowie den Erwerb von Immobilien f{\"u}r sich erschlossen. Strukturelle Benachteiligungen, wie Diskriminierung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, ihre Ans{\"a}ssigkeit im sozial stigmatisierten Gebiet sowie geringes {\"o}konomisches Kapital versuchten sie durch den Einsatz von sozialem Kapital auszugleichen. Sanierungen erfolgten mit hoher Eigenleistung und R{\"u}ckgriff auf private Netzwerke. Die Analyse des Erneuerungsprozesses im Leipziger Osten zeigt, dass in einer initialen Phase Pionier:innen von Planenden und der Denkmalpflege als essentiell f{\"u}r die Entwicklung angesehen wurden. G{\"u}nstige Instandsetzungen durch Kleineigent{\"u}mer:innen wurden akzeptiert, um Geb{\"a}ude vor weiterem Verfall zu bewahren. Mit der zunehmenden Forderung nach Verwendung hochwertiger Materialen werden die Sanierungsleistungen nach {\"a}sthetischen und letztlich {\"o}konomischen Kriterien bewertet. Gegen{\"u}ber sozialen Folgen einer Aufwertung von Bausubstanz l{\"a}sst sich eine unkritische Haltung der Denkmalpflege erkennen. Bei der Vermarktung der Best{\"a}nde durch professionelle Investierende findet die Sozialgeschichte des Stadtteils wenig Ber{\"u}cksichtigung, positiv besetzte Merkmale des Quartiers, wie Multikulturalit{\"a}t werden selektiv aufgegriffen. Der Anteil migrantischer Akteur:innen an der Entwicklung wird durch die {\"O}ffentlichkeit unzureichend anerkannt. Auch die Wertsch{\"a}tzung von Planenden und im Quartier Engagierten erfolgt v. a. anhand des {\"o}konomischen Status. Hohe Erwartungen an die Gesch{\"a}ftsstruktur und die Erscheinung des Straßenbildes k{\"o}nnen nicht erf{\"u}llt werden. Migrantische Hausbesitzende und im Bereich Sanierung T{\"a}tige ben{\"o}tigen f{\"u}r die Auseinandersetzung mit der Denkmalpflege kulturelles Kapital. Sie erkennen die Bedeutung des historischen Baubestandes f{\"u}r die Stadt und die Arbeit der Institution an, kritisieren jedoch Sanierungsauflagen bzw. Mitarbeitende der Denkmalpflege und k{\"o}nnen sich z. T. gegen diese behaupten. Lokale migrantische Kleineigent{\"u}mer:innen leisten durch ihre Quartiersbindung einen Beitrag zur {\"o}konomischen und sozialen Stabilisierung. Mit ihrer Aufstiegsorientierung f{\"o}rdern sie in der Vermietungspraxis jedoch nur bedingt die Integration anderer Migrant:innen und grenzen sich von statusniedrigen Gruppen im Quartier ab. Migrantische Hausbesitzende und Unternehmende nehmen sich selbst als erfolgreiche Vorreitende in einer heterogener werdenden ostdeutschen Stadtgesellschaft wahr.

I argue that architectural heritage is a medium where specific cultural and social decisions form its way of presentation, and it reflects the values and interests of the period. By the process of remembering and forgetting, the meanings between inhabitant and object in urban environment are practiced, and the meanings are created. To enable the research in narrative observation, cultural tourism management is chosen as the main research object, which reflects the alteration of interaction between the architectural heritage and urban identity. Identifying the role of heritage management, the definition of social resilience and the prospects of cultural heritage as a means of social resilience are addressed. Case region of the research is East Ger- many, thereby, the study examines the distinct approaches and objectives regarding heritage management under the different political systems along the German reunification process. The framework is based on various theoretical paradigms to investigate the broad research questions: 1) What is the role of historic urban quarters in the revitalisation of East German towns? 2) How was the transition processed by cultural heritage management? 3) How did policy affect residents' lives? The case study is applied to macro level (city level: Gotha and Eisenach) and micro level study (object level: specific heritage sites), to analyse the performance of selective remembering and making tourist destination through giving significance to specific heritage. By means of site observations, archival research, qualitative inter- views, photographs, and discourse analysis on printed tourism materials, the study demonstrates that certain sites and characteristics of the city enable creating and focusing messages, which aids the social resilience. Combining theory and empirical studies this thesis attempts to widen the academic discussion regarding the practice of remembering and forgetting driven by cultural heritage. The thesis argues for cultural heritage tourism as an element of social resilience and one that embraces the historic and cultural identity of the inhabitants.}, subject = {Stadtmarketing}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Sucker, author = {Sucker, Katharina}, title = {Communities in discourse and space.

In real estate marketing social discourses are used as a source of reference for place branding or identity design. Branding concepts therefore relate to how social groups imagine their position or future position in society, imaginaries that are continuously influenced and changed by social dynamics within the city but also from the outside. How such urban identities are formed and it what way they relate to the urban environment is crucial to a wide spectrum of social and cultural science. The constitutive role urban space attains has been described and analysed in much detail. Such scrutiny however has yet to be applied to the visual and communicative forms of engagement, the build environment partakes in the formation and change of social discourses.}, subject = {Architektur}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Skivko, author = {Skivko, Maria}, title = {Fashion in the City and The City in Fashion: Urban Representation in Fashion Magazines}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3726}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20180210-37262}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {This dissertation concerns the changing role of fashion in the context of modern cities. In approaching this process, the research investigates the media discourse based on representations of fashion by cities and of cities by fashion. Moreover, this research focuses on fashion understood as a multidimensional phenomenon that aims to provide an explanation of urban spaces through fashion terms, actions, and garments. Additionally, cities are considered from the cultural geography approach that highlights the cultural component of urban spaces expressed in social and cultural practices in physical reality. Following this idea, it is suggested here that fashion today not only participates in the urban life as its significant component but also creates city images and representations of urban lifestyle through the fashion paradigm. In other words, fashion redefines urban spaces; at the same time, urban spaces are interpreted as a stage for fashion processes. By integrating in social research the fields of urban studies and fashion studies, this dissertation offers the discussion considering the fashion phenomenon not only as an urban phenomenon of modern reality. On the one hand, such discussion concerns the re-conceptualization of urban phenomena by the fashion influence; on the other hand, it relates the re-contextualization of fashion in a city. The empirical focus is based on the media context of fashion magazines in which variety of possibilities to represent fashion and cities lead to promising interpretations and analysis. The idea of representation specifies the ways of constructing the notion of urban space as fashionable space and the notion of fashion as placed in the urban context.}, subject = {Stadtentwicklung}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Shamskooshki, author = {Shamskooshki, Hanieh}, title = {Perception of Socio-Spatial Segregation: The Interaction of Physical and Social Urban Space-Study case of Tehran Neighborhoods}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4466}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210802-44666}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {"How to understand the interaction between urban space and social processes" is a significant question in urban studies.

It observes the causes and consequences of segregation in Tehran and provides an insight into both concepts of socio-spatial segregation and neighborhood effects and creates a link between them.

The term acoustic monu-memorials was coined in this research to encircle these structures and places. In order to achieve the goal of this research, it was necessary to compile a number of samples, primarily after the digital recording era of captured sound around 1971 to the present. The compilation was relevant because such a compendium was not found in the literature, and to the author's knowledge, a comprehensive investigation of the strategies used in planning acoustic monu-memorials in the urban spaces does not exist. The method used to create such compendium was to send a question to people with different background identities, such as visual and sound artists, musicians, art curators, and heritage scholars among others. This question produced a selection of 51 examples of acoustic monu-memorials located in public spaces. Subsequently, the examples were classified into four major categories according to their form and nature. Additionally, two examples from the main categories were chosen as case studies: The Sinti and Roma Memorial in Berlin, Germany and the Niche monument in Cali, Colombia. These study cases were presented, described, and analysed in detail as they represent the type of what could be defined as an acoustic monu-memorial in general. Lynch's (1960) five elements that help individuals build the image of the city were transferred and used as a tool to help to build this image into acoustic terms. A thorough analysis of the acquired data yielded found the strategies used by the designers to shape, modify, transform, and structure public space. These strategies are entitled Sound Spaces. Moreover, a list entitled Urban Acoustic Commemoration Code was compiled. This list of suggestions addresses urban planners, architects, artists, designers, and general public interested in the aspects involved when creating acoustic commemoration phenomena in public spaces.}, subject = {Stadtentwicklung}, language = {en} }
