Urban Vibrations: How Physical Waves Come to Matter in Contemporary Urbanism (Prof. Farías)
description

Cities are critical zones where the intermingling of environmental processes, infrastructural arrangements and human lives is increasingly apparent and disputed. Physical waves, particularly heat radiation, sound waves and radio frequencies, constitute major environmental disturbances that invisibly cross the urban built environment affecting bodies, human and nonhuman, in harmful and uncertain ways. By asking how they come to matter, this project explores how waves become associated to specific bodies and environments, as well as how they become matters of public concern and design intervention. To answer these questions, this project entails extended ethnographic fieldwork at key locations where urban projects aimed at mitigating the urban heat island effect, abating environmental noise and building 5th generation wireless communication networks are currently unfolding.

Geographical Imaginations: Ontological (In)Securities in Rural Areas (Prof. Helbrecht)
description

The subproject “Geographic Imaginations II” adopts an international comparative perspective in order to examine the refiguration of rural spaces with regard to its effects on subjective geographical imaginations and related notions of security. We will empirically analyze how spatial conceptions of different population groups (especially in relation to age, gender, and social status) are undergoing significant changes due to processes of globalization, debordering, dis-embedding, re-embedding, and mediatization – leading to existential, subjective insecurities.

Urban Microclimate Planning Regimes: The Constitution of Spaces and Infrastructures of Heat (Prof. Farías)
description

Starting from a conceptualization of the city as critical zone of the Anthropocene, the subproject investigates the refiguration of urban spaces associated with microclimatic adaptation strategies. The project’s empirical focus therefore lies on the current formation of a microclimate regime in urban development contexts aimed at mitigating negative effects of creeping thermal stress on human and non-human life in the city. Using the interrelated examples of two pioneering cities with respect to microclimatic adaption strategies – namely Stuttgart in Germany and Fukuoka in Japan – three moments of the regime forming process will be examined from the perspective of spatial sociology: a) the problematization of urban heat, which is linked to certain socio-spatial arrangements of heat and affectedness; b) the infrastructuring of heat-resilient spaces, which is characterized by material-political strategies and conflicts with existing practices and infrastructures; and c) the translocal circulation of the microclimatic regime, which reveals variations in the associated refiguration of spaces.

Stock Development through Public-Civic partnerships. Forms of Cooperation, Controversies and Modelling Attempts of the Model Projects of Cooperative Urban Development in Berlin. (Haus der Statistik und Rathausblock Kreuzberg) (Prof. Farías)
description

In 2016, the Berlin Senate designated two inner-city areas as model projects for community-oriented, cooperative urban development: the Haus der Statistik in Mitte and the Rathausblock Kreuzberg. Existing buildings are to be renovated and supplemented with new buildings to create affordable space for housing, administration and commerce. Newly created decision-making structures and mediating institutions have given rise to public-civic partnerships here, whose potential for public welfare-oriented building and urban development needs to be explored. Building on literature from organizational studies, social science technology and science studies, and cultural and social anthropology, we explore the idiosyncrasies and characteristics of the model projects studied.

Dynamics of placemaking and digitization in Europe's cities (Dr. Shea & PD Dr. Oevermann)
description

This action will explore how place-making activities such as public art, civic urban design, and local knowledge production reshape and reinvent public space and enhance citizen participation in urban planning and design. Placemaking implies the multiplication and fragmentation of actors that shape public space. The aim of the action is to enable citizens* to contribute to different ways of interpreting local identities in European cities through citizen knowledge, digitalization and placemaking.

Trash Games. Playing with the Circular Economy at Haus der Materialisierung (Prof. Farías)
description

The project brings together the Department of Circular Economy and Recycling Technologies (TU Berlin) and the Urban Laboratory for Multimodal Anthropology (HU Berlin) to develop and explore games and game design as formats of public engagement with the Circular Economy (CE). We are experimenting with games as a particular form of science communication that enable accessible, speculative, and interactive forms of participation by non-homogeneous publics in complex issues. In collaboration with actors from the civil society platform “Haus der Materialisierung” in the Berlin model project for community-oriented neighborhood development Haus der Statistik, we will develop a game that explores potentials and conflicts in the societal transition to a collaborative-driven circular economy.

Urban Citizenship-Making at Times of Crisis. Building local-level resilience among migrants in Berlin, Copenhagen and Tel-Aviv (Dr. Lebuhn)
description

This project looks at the social and political consequences of the Corona crisis in the urban context. The focus will be on the role of neighborhood organizations in providing access to information and resources under pandemic conditions, especially for migrants. The project is comparative and works with case studies in Berlin, Copenhagen and Tel Aviv. In this way, different framework conditions for local action will be taken into account.

The World Down my Street (Prof. Blokland)
description

The subproject investigates how increased spatial mobility affects social network relationships and their spatial arrangements, how spaces are constituted in social networks through a heterogenization of action references, and whether and how these spaces can be used as resources by residents. From the perspective of a sociology of social inequality, the project asks how, under conditions of increased mobility and translocal experiences, social networks are accessed, created and transformed, and how their resources are used to cope with or improve one’s own life situation. From a spatial sociological perspective, the project investigates whether and how the constitution and activation of networks make translocal use of locally bound preconditions, generate polycontextural references, and thus produce new spatial consolidations.

Connecting Urbanity in and between North and South Africa from the Perspective of Justice and Accessibility. Reflections on Planning Practice & Theory from multiple case studies in Egypt and South Africa (Prof. Farías)
description

In the last Urban Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Goals 4, 10 and 11 respectively addressed the issues of quality of education, reducing In-equality, and sustainable cities and communities. In this proposal we are addressing these goals in two African counties: Egypt and South Africa representing the Northern and Southern African contexts. Both countries share similar challenges in the urban planning practices that affect socio-spatial justice, equality and accessibility in the city. Accordingly, we propose investigating multiple local case studies in cities such as Cairo, Alexandria, Cape Town and Johannesburg in order to understand and reflect on the practices of planning in the different Global North and Global South contexts. The themes are: 1) Planning theory & education; 2) Planning politics & urban policy; 3) Planning practice, field & civil society.

Converting historic textile-industry complexes in European cities: A typology of urban spatial structures of textile-industry complexes, and best conservation and enhancement practices for their conversion (PD Dr. Oevermann)
description

Converting historic industrial complexes is a new and important task in many European cities. Architectural and planning practices show that historic industrial complexes are composed of urban spatial structures that might be conserved and enhanced during conversion to new uses. For research, the question arises, of what constitutes best practice for conservation and enhancement when converting historic industrial complexes. Best practice will be discussed and identified on basis of five criteria coming from debates in architecture and conservation.

Geographical Imaginations: Security and Insecurity in Generational Comparison (Prof Helbrecht)
description

The project “Geographical Imaginations: People’s Sense of Security and Insecurity in a Cross-Generational Comparison” focuses on the extent in which the increase in complexity and re-figuration of spaces is expressed in security-related geographical imaginations. Subjective spatial knowledge will be empirically examined by conducting group discussions and problem-oriented interviews (both based on photo-elicitation) at three different places (Vancouver, Berlin, Singapore). We will analyze the geographical imaginations of 15–30-year-olds, 35–50-year-olds and 55–70-year-olds. Using the visual methodology of photo-elicitation, we want to particularly shed light on the emotional and affective dimension of security-related spatial knowledge. It is for the first time that a research project investigates the subjective spatial knowledge of different age groups in a polycontextural way at three different study sites, thus allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the contours of a global re-figuration of spaces.

RECIPES (Reconciling Science, Innovation and Precaution through the Engagement of Stakeholders), Subproject: “Precaution and Financial Risks in Implementing the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive: Cities Investing in Water Infrastructures” (Prof Mieg)
description

Many European cities are facing the challenges of massively overhauling their urban water infrastructures. This is due both to the requirements of the European Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD), and the fact that most of their main water infrastructures were installed in the 19th century and now have an outdated structure (exacerbated by climate change, especially in coastal locations). We will focus on the specific role and risks of financial R&I in these city investments and conduct a case study involving two cities (London, Milan).

Workshop: Working/Class/City (Prof. Blokland)
description

The aim of the workshop is to bring together anthropologists, sociologists and geographers from four CENTRAL-partners to develop a multi-disciplinary shared research perspective on the development of class as social science concept and as lived practice or ‘culture’ in the context of post-socialist de-industrialization and the development of service- and platform economy, and develop a collaborative research agenda. Starting from the idea that not only political systemic changes into post-socialist cities, but also the changing nature of work in neoliberal economies affect people’s lives in the last 30 years, it brings together scholars from Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland and, as a contrasting case, the United Kingdom (where work disappeared and affected class-based communities and practices under capitalism) to explore possibilities for a shared research project, for which we will explore funding options, or graduate students’ group application (Graduiertenkolleg).

Einkommen, Miete, Ungleichheit. Analyse der Wohnverhältnisse in deutschen Großstädten (2006-2018) (Dr. Holm)
description

The research project “Income, Rent, and Inequality” is based on an updated and in-depth analysis of housing conditions as an effect and cause of social inequality. In former studies on housing provision we were able to show a fundamental lack of affordable housing for households with low income in mostly all large cities. In the course of this follow-up study, the key figures on housing conditions and supply situations will be refreshing with new data. Questions from the research project are directed at the (1) impact of income inequality on housing conditions, (2) the impact of housing costs on the structure of social inequality in the German cities, and (3) the provision with affordable housing in the large cities.
