Empty land: the production of informal commons outside/within the urban
Shin:
Speaking to the theme of this workshop, you dislocate urban studies by focusing on Chongqing
Shin:
You use the notion of commons but I think this needs to be unpacked a bit more, since there is also competition within these same spaces—a capitalistic notion that would seem to undermine the commons
How do you think you can make use of your case studies in connection with wider processes of capitalism?
The history of this city as a planned city, cannot be understood through the plan—it is an assembly of people, laws, erasures, logics and operations that perpetuated social exclusion
Olivia Engström begins: ‘Spatial Resilience Tactic of Urban Public Space Repurposing in the Shrinking City: The Sustaining Community of Estonian Border City of Narva’
Engström:
Sustainability discourse entered all dimensions of our lives
In Narva, I examine urban public space repurposing, dynamics of spatial meetings
Post-socialist transitions here brought big changes, lost jobs, shrinking cities
Urban public space repurposing can show strategies of resilience
I performed a multi-cited ethnography to explore the ways people make sense of the city
