TY - THES A1 - Cervantes, Juan T1 - Liberal or coordinated Sustainability? Environmental Governance in Different Capitalist Schemes: Germany and the United Kingdom. N2 - This research represents an effort made towards contribute to the critical thinking from an analysis of the hegemonic neoliberal ideology, which supports the idea of the end of history and the technocratic universalism which in turn implies the imposition of a single model of life, denying, in the name of realism and the end of utopias, any other alternative possibility. This makes it necessary to recover the critical thinking to analyze and understand the reality, thus overcoming the ideological barrier towards claiming that things can be otherwise. It is clear from this research that the discourse of sustainable development has unquestionably transformed the context and content of political activity in Europe. This discourse has exercised and obvious influence in the Governance processes, mainly because it has contributed to the introduction of a new political field, which was then promoted, either explicitly or implicitly by policy-makers, researchers on the field and practitioners during the last three decades. Though it may be bold to affirm that the discourse of sustainable development is the sole driver of these whole set of changes, there is no doubt that it has played a key part in the way in which the governance priorities have been handled in the European continent.

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.

Localization and Commoditization process of Urban Tourism. Study case Palembang Indonesia N2 - This research addresses the discourse of tourism as a tool for place-making of urban destination. Relevant to the study of place-making is the analysis of the commoditization and localization process dependent upon the appropriation of urban landscape and local cultures. In the research, localization is interpreted as the act of determining the attributes of locality, while commoditization is defined as the process by which local attributes that have commercial potential end up in becoming tourism commodity. Following this, the commoditization of intrinsic cultural value is disseminated within a branding strategy and intervention reflecting social and political relations. Therefore, the research suggests that tourism place-making has not only been constructed through the top-down regulatory body, but has been also generated through the attributes of its locality. By utilizing the critical and constructivist paradigm, the research depicts the conditions of the localization and commoditization process in establishing the base line of its realization within the symbolic economy. Thus, a qualitative case study approach was adopted. The study area of this dissertation is Palembang, as one of the capital cities in Indonesia advancing in its overall urban development. To investigate urban tourism as a tool for development strategy, it is useful to investigate the role of tourism which embodies (1) spatial transformation; how tourism gives significant impacts on urban form, and (2) the socio-cultural aspect; how neighbourhood is related to tourism industry. The findings suggest that tourism place-making involves the reciprocity of urban dynamics: cities take on tourism as a reference model of development, and tourist areas adopt the proliferation of cultural lifestyle to meet the industry’s demands.

Towards a spatial dialectic in gated residential developments T1 - Diskurse der Identität auf dem Immobilienmarkt. Eine Untersuchung anhand von Gated Communities in Istanbul. N2 - This research projects deals with the discoursivity of spatial production. By looking at contemporary residential development in the city of Istanbul, I will examine the reciprocity of the material production of space on one hand, and social discourses on the other, in order to make a contribution to how physical space can be used as a source of research in urban studies. 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. N2 - Diese Dissertation setzt sich mit den Mechanismen diskursiver Stadtproduktion auseinander. Anhand einer Analyse aktueller Wohnbauprojekte in Istanbul wird untersucht, wie materielle Stadtproduktion auf der einen Seite und gesellschaftliche Diskurse auf der anderen ineinandergreifen, sich gegenseitig bedingen und beeinflussen. Gesellschaftsdiskurse tauchen im Stadtmarketing als Diskurse urbaner Identität auf. Sie stehen in engem Bezug zu einer idealisierten Vorstellung der eigenen gesellschaftlichen Position, werden aber auch durch Bewertungen von außen geprägt und verändert. Die Formation solcher Identitäten im Bereich des Stadtmarketing sowie ihre räumliche Umsetzung in Prozessen der Stadtproduktion ist von zentralem Interesse in der Stadtsoziologie. Die konstituierende Bedeutung des Raumes ist dabei weitestgehend erforscht worden, nicht jedoch die verändernde Wirkung, die städtischer Raum auf gesellschaftliche Diskurse hat - und umgekehrt. Dieser Komponente soll sich das vorliegende Forschungsvorhaben widmen.

Darüber hinaus will sie herausfinden, warum man sich bezüglich der Durchführung der kinder- und jugendfreundlichen Stadtentwicklung zunächst auf die Schulen und deren Umgebungen konzentrieren soll. Deshalb widmet sich die Dissertation zuerst der Literaturrecherche, sowohl was den Begriff der kinder- und jugendfreundlichen Stadtentwicklung angeht als auch der Literatur bezüglich des Beitrags der Schulen zur Realisierung der kinder- und jugendfreundlichen Stadtentwicklung. Danach wird untersucht, ob das deutsche Instrument ‚Spielleitplanung‘ sich als Leitfaden für die gesamte Konzeption der koreanischen kinder- und jugendfreundlichen Stadtentwicklung eignet. Darüber hinaus werden Interviews mit koreanischen Experten aus Stadtplanung und Architektur, Pädagogik und öffentlicher Verwaltung als Forschungsmethode verwendet, um in Bezug auf die kinder- jungendfreundliche Stadtentwicklung den koreanischen Zustand zu analysieren. Zuletzt werden anhand der Untersuchungsergebnisse Handlungs-empfehlungen für die Durchführung der koreanischen kinder- und jugend-freundlichen Stadtentwicklung formuliert. Anhand dieser Forschung kann konstatiert werden, dass die kinder- und jugendfreundliche Stadtentwicklung eine wichtige Planungsidee ist, weil dadurch Stadtplanerinnen und Stadtplaner sowohl zum körperlichen und geistigen gesunden Aufwachsen von Kindern und Jugendlichen als auch zur Entwicklung ihrer sozialen Kompetenzen erheblich beitragen können. Vor allem soll man die koreanische kinder- und jugendfreundliche Stadtentwicklung zunächst auf den Schulen und den schulischen Umgebungen umsetzen. Denn dadurch lassen sich vielseitige eventuelle Hindernisse bei der Durchführung der kinder- und jugendfreundlichen Stadtentwicklung vermeiden. Ein weiterer Grund ist, dass die Schulen in Korea nicht nur in der Gesellschaft eine zentrale Rolle spielen, sondern auch im Rahmen der Stadtplanung. Auffällig ist, dass die kinder- und jugendfreundliche Stadtentwicklung sowohl auf die räumlichen Gestaltungen als auch auf die Beteiligung von Kindern und Jugendlichen in der städtischen Planung fokussiert ist. Allerdings werden bei der Stadtentwicklung die Kinder und Jugendliche in Korea noch nicht als wichtige Akteure angesehen. Darum soll man die Spielleitplanung in Korea einbeziehen, weil sie als Leitbild bei einer Konzeption der koreanischen kinder- und jugendlichen Stadtentwicklung fungieren kann. Jedoch müssen dabei die kulturellen Unterschiede zwischen Deutschland und Korea berücksichtigt werden. Weiterhin wurde durch die Interviews festgestellt, dass das Interesse und der Wille von Experten aus der Stadtplanung an Kinder- und Jugendfreundlichkeit die wichtigsten Voraussetzungen sind, um die kinder- und jugendfreundliche Stadtentwicklung in Korea zu verankern und zu verbreiten.

The ambivalent stance of German municipalities in conflicts over a post-fossil future JF - Raumforschung und Raumordnung N2 - This paper addresses the scope for action by municipalities in a climate emergency and places it in the framework of ecomodern (urban) policy. We analyse the way in which two German ‘climate emergency municipalities’ translate conflicts of post-fossil transformation into concrete political and planning strategies. Although more than 2,200 authorities around the world have already declared a climate emergency, research on the impact of these resolutions on the political orientation of municipalities is very limited. Our research focus is on the (potentially agonistic) treatment of conflicts in planning. We argue that in times of a socio-ecological crisis, success in conflict resolution cannot refer to appeasement and depoliticisation. Instead, we propose a framework of five criteria, based on critical theory on ecomodern strategies, planning processes and degrowth. Thus, this practice-related and explorative paper connects empirical insights from the German cities of Constance and Berlin with an innovative normative framework. The findings tell a complex story of an, at least partial, admission of the failure of previous climate mitigation strategies, a lack of social institutions of limits, an instrumental relation to nature and a disregard for social injustices. The paper discusses how municipalities, in the context of ongoing tensions over the post-fossil transformation in Germany, on the one hand hold on to business-as-usual approaches, but on the other hand also set political impulses for change.

Nations in Europe has chosen ‎not to ‎neglect ‎their past, moreover, overcoming it by strengthening the national identity. An ‎approach was clear in ‎the literature, art, further in the way of rebuilding their cities; that mainly ‎has reflected on the ‎value of urban spaces and their role in narrating the country’s national ‎memory. Thanks to this ‎approach, which has supported the post-war European nations to invite ‎to an act of ‎ forgiveness rather than to forget. ‎ On the contrary, memory, in relation to architecture is a form of knowledge has been ‎neglected in Egypt, especially during the previous decades after the declaration of independence ‎from the colonial power, and since 1952 revolution. Recently, a rising debate about Egypt ‎national history and the need to renationalize the Egyptian historical consciousness has rapidly ‎grown up, due to the political transformation has occurred because of the 25th uprising, 2011, ‎which unveiled the power of public spaces in constituting the nation thoughts, especially Tahrir ‎square.‎ At the same time, this has unveiled the results of neglecting the past instead of overcoming it; unveiled a present carries the danger of conflict and repeating previous mistakes. Researchers, historians, politicians, governmental organization, have ‎worked in the purpose of revisiting the historical information, and have tried to document the ‎current transformation of the 25th uprising. There was a public demand for redesigning Tahrir square to reflect the ‎memory of the uprising as a symbol of the power of the public. However, after eight years, those ‎memories have faded as if the 25th uprising has never happened. ‎ Those circumstances are very relevant to the gap between urban design and the art of ‎memory-work, in the scientific field. Few studies in Egypt conducted the concept of memory in ‎relation to urban spaces, however, the matter requires more attention, to associate the need for renationalizing Egypt ‎memory, with viewing urban space as a mean of narrating the country’s national memory and ‎reflecting the citizens' current thoughts, as a try of nearing the distances between ‎competing ‎narratives. Therefore, the research aims at developing a methodological framework that should ‎contribute to renationalizing memory through urban space. Further, benefiting from the German experience by investigating lessons to learn. That is based on the hypothesis that, although there is no fixed formula for all countries to renationalize the historical ‎consciousness of memory through urban spaces, lessons to be learned from Germany experience ‎could be a driving dimension when designing Egyptian urban spaces with a concept of memory ‎as an essential factor. To guide the validity of the study’s hypothesis, a set of research questions are thus ‎formulated: Starting from why memory is an essential factor when designing urban spaces? ‎Regarding Egypt national memory, how it was constituted through history and how to read its ‎representation on urban spaces? Also, the study quests the means of nationalizing memory ‎through urban spaces? And What are the learned lessons from the German experience?‎ The study tries to answer those questions. Via an inductive ‎analytical ‎methodology ‎which ‎moves from the gap of knowledge and from a particular situation ‎in Egypt, to study the German ‎experience in renationalizing the concept of memory through urban spaces.‎ ‎ Within the scope of the study, exploring Egypt prevailing narratives and the inherited ‎concepts which influenced the national memory is essential. Moreover, the research develops ‎analytical political psychosocial model that could help reading memories in urban spaces, ‎memory’s actors, and memory influences. To validate this model, case studies are analysed in ‎light of the concluded aspects. Consequently, the expected result is to infer broad general ‎learned ‎lessons for the Egyptian case. ‎ Research findings and conclusions answer the research questions, interpret literature ‎review, recommend some guide points to three target groups: first, practice field; to encourage ‎designers to value the national and collective memories when designing urban spaces. Second, to ‎ask policymakers to take the public participation into consideration, when taking decisions related to urban ‎development. Third, the thesis recommends future researches of urban memory that connect ‎theoretical information with the practice field. ‎ Finally, enhancing the memory-work in relation to the national narrative, conveying a meaningful message, when ‎designing urban spaces could encourage citizens to learn, to interact, and to dissolve boundaries ‎between the competing narratives in post-conflict societies.‎ KW - Erinnerung KW - Denkmal KW - Kulturerbe KW - Ägypten KW - Designing Urban National Memory KW - Reading Urban National Memory KW - Prevailing/ Competing Narratives KW - Post-Conflict society KW - Learned Lessons Y1 - 2019 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20191212-40489 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Werner, Franziska A1 - Haase, Annegret A1 - Renner, Nona A1 - Rink, Dieter A1 - Rottwinkel, Malena A1 - Schmidt, Anika ED - Eckardt, Frank T1 - The Local Governance of Arrival in Leipzig: Housing of Asylum-Seeking Persons as a Contested Field JF - Urban Planning N2 - The article examines how the German city of Leipzig governs the housing of asylum seekers. 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.
