Generative pedagogies from and for the social production of habitat : Learning from HIC-AL School of grassroots urbanism
Get PDFplaNext-Next Generation Planning Vol. 11 (2021) : Planning Theories from the Global South 26-43Re-thinking dominant epistemological assumptions of the urban in the global South implies recognising the role of grassroots networks in challenging epistemic injustices through the co-production of multiple saberes and haceres for more just and inclusive cities. This paper examines the pedagogies of such networks by focusing on the experiences nurtured within Habitat International Coalition in Latin America (HIC-AL), identified as a ‘School of Grassroots Urbanism’ (Escuela de Urbanismo Popular). Although HIC-AL follows foremost activist rather than educational objectives, members of HIC-AL identify and value their practices as a ‘School’, whose diverse pedagogic logics and epistemological arguments are examined in this paper. The analysis builds upon a series of in-depth interviews, document reviews and participant observation with HIC-AL member organisations and allied grassroots networks. The discussion explores how the values and principles emanating from a long history of popular education and popular urbanism in the region are articulated through situated pedagogies of resistance and transformation, which in turn enable generative learning from and for the social production of habitat
Book of abstracts : Rethinking planning practices, online conference 12-14th July 2021
No full textThe COVID19 pandemics influenced life of each of us, bringing multiple limitations and multiple challenges. Our AESOP community was one of the first associations directly affected by closed borders in Europe needed to cut the running meeting of Council of Representatives and to cancel the Heads of Departments meeting in
Vienna in March 2020. But majority of our activities continued successfully as we were able to adapt them to new conditions, to enter much broadly virtual space offered by the information and communication technologies, to look for new modes, innovations and possibilities even bringing us ahead in the quality and accessibility of our activities. Thanks to our colleagues from the member schools, we were able to continue the work of the thematic groups, to organise in the online mode traditional AESOP Lecture Series event our PhD Summer School, and even to introduce new mode of our knowledge exchange – small format conference, innovative not only by its format, but by modes of exchange, flexibility and immediate reflection of new challenges. Thanks to the initiative of team from the Gdansk University of Technology we have got the book of abstracts in front of us. Not in our hands, but electronic form including a lot of interesting ideas in numerous contributions. The number of authors shows very positive respond to the idea to organise this complementary scientific event to the traditional AESOP and GPAEN congresses, covering the gap in the year in which, due the pandemics limitations, we cannot meet us in person. It shows the potential of our community to adapt to new circumstances and to use them for being better prepared for “new normal” after COVID 19 as well. And the adaptation is present in the main topic of this event too, creating the space for discussing the transformation of planning practices responding to contemporary social and economic challenges, influencing urban governance models including the adaptation and evolution of planning practices from different geographical perspectives, planning approaches, governance
modes, scopes of planning interventions. Not only planning, education of planners and our schools need to reflect these challenges. The AESOP should follow the needs of its members, the adaptation and development processes. Being aware about new reality after returning to “new normal” our AESOP community made several important steps ahead to the transition. Based on initiative of the AEKOM, expanding over the frames of creating just on instrument in the form of open access platform towards the reviving our community, the AESOP starts to develop our shared vision of AESOP future inviting, motivating, and enabling members of our community to manage and share open access digital knowledge and to strengthen the AESOP community around a possible future. The Gdansk conference represents kick-off for broad discussion on new vision, values, and future of AESOP. With this, the Gdansk colleagues turned this conference from the small by its format to the big by its importance.

New relational understandings of city building: Reading the city through dynamic landscapes of spatial governance
No full textTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Volume 5 / Issue 1 / June 2021; page 1-8In this think piece I will take you on a journey to share my approach to reading contemporary city building, which is increasingly chaotic, fragmented, and complex. Spatial governance, in my understanding, refers to the collective efforts to coordinate and structure the dynamic institutional activities of a variety of actors that aim to organise the built environment. Urban planning is one of these efforts, though not the only one. Therefore, in this article, I will visualise spatial governance as a dynamic landscape which accommodates multi-actor, multi-scalar, multi-loci and multi-temporal regulatory activities related to the uncertainties, opportunities, and crises of the market. Reading dynamic landscapes of spatial governance requires an understanding of regulatory efforts as they refer to the relational behaviour of state, market, and community actors. This approach, to linking regulatory efforts to relational behaviour, in my view, gives us new opportunities to provide comprehensive understandings of how cities develop under market-driven conditions

Editorial Vol. 11 (2021) : Introduction: Planning theories from 'southern turn' to 'deeply rooted/situated in the South/context' A project in the making
No full textplaNext-Next Generation Planning Vol. 11 (2021) : Planning Theories from the Global South 9-25Over the years a growing number of planning and urban theorists located in, or writing on, planning and urban theories in the global South have argued that theories emerged on the basis of assumptions within a northern context that do not ‘fit’ or are not applicable in global South contexts (Rao 2006; Ferguson 2006; Watson 2009; Roy 2009; Myers 2011; Parnell and Robinson 2012). Hence, they maintain, there is a need to rethink the northern bias in planning and urban theory and to develop new concepts, ideas, vocabularies and practices from southern perspectives. McFarlane (2008) uses the term ‘southern turn’ in urban studies, while arguing that productive comparisons across contexts constitute an epistemological transformation in urban theory. He uses the term ‘urban shadow’ to explain how southern cities are considered marginal and on the ‘edges’ of a predominantly Euro-American oriented urban theory canon (McFarlane 2004; 2008). Rao dwells on Amin & Thirft’s (2002) Cities: Reimagining the Urban to develop her ‘slum as theory’ wherein she critically reflects on the dominant discourses that inform and guide planning and urban theory. In 2009, Watson (2009), a scholar based in the South, introduced the idea of ‘seeing from the south’ to explain the need for context-rooted theory development. Yiftachel (2006) introduced a South-Eastern approach instead to break the binary of North-South and East-West. Roy (2009) calls for new geographies of ‘imagination and epistemologies’, as dominant theorizations are based on Euro-American experience, and are unable to capture the grounded reality of the global South

Inclusion in urban environmental governance of small and intermediary cities of the global South
Get PDFplaNext-Next Generation Planning Vol. 11 (2021) : Planning Theories from the Global South 81-105Urban sustainability is governed beyond the urban scale through trans-local networks and assemblages of actors and institutions. There is an emerging field of interest that aims to understand the outcomes of urban sustainability interventions, both from the environmental and social equity perspectives. This paper contributes to the literature on governing urban environmental sustainability transitions, with a distinct focus on small and intermediary cities of the global South. Actors in cities of the global South are adopting a variety of ways towards achieving urban sustainability transitions in the realm of disaster risk reduction, adaptation building, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and natural resource management. Our paper employs an analytical framework derived from Bai et. al. (2010) to chart the actors, drivers, finances, barriers, and the inclusivity and sustainability outcomes in seven interventions led by different actors. Five of the cases are drawn extensively from literature, while two case studies reflect on our primary engagement in the cities of Nakuru in Kenya and Udon Thani in Thailand. We find that the actors leading and financing the projects and the drivers of the intervention can explain differential outcomes in the inclusion processes and the framing of environmental solutions. We then delineate the opportunities and barriers to achieve multi-level governance approaches that are relevant to planning transformations in the South
The International Cooperation in Planning Studio as a Pedagogical Approach: Experiences from Grenoble & Sfax
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 5 No. 2 (2021): Changing Contexts for Planning Education; 131-147In 2012, an international planning studio was organized by the Urban Planning Institute of Grenoble (France) at Sfax (Tunisia). What could have been a one-off project evolved into a long-term cooperation between French and Tunisian partners. The international cooperation in urbanism studio is now the focus of the teaching approach in both years of the Urbanism and International Cooperation master’s programme. This paper firstly considers the theoretical and practical contexts in which these studios developed. It then goes on to explore the planning concepts on which they are built. The main pedagogical characteristics are then drawn out. Finally, the lessons which can be learned from this experience and the potential for these to be applied elsewhere are evaluated
