This paper aims to review the existing methodologies, approaches, and tools regarding Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) methodology, and to develop an impact assessment procedure in the context of new urban development. The methodology is applied to the case of Masjed-e Jame of Isfahan. The required data is collected through a fieldwork for identification and classification of impacts of Atiq project on the property. Subsequently, the collected data is analysed through impact assessment matrix, and eventually, appropriated mitigation strategies to reduce negative impacts on the property are determined. The proposed impact assessment methodology in the HIA procedure provides a systematic framework for identifying, assessing and mitigating potential impacts of new urban development on cultural heritage properties, which is supportive for urban planners, cultural decision makers, heritage conservators and experts toward developing more integrated approach to heritage protection in context of sustainable development.

Berlin is taken as specific field of investigation as self-organisation is very much linked to its recent history and it therefore seems to be a very relevant case for this topic. The example of the International Building Exhibition 1984/1987 in Berlin (IBA 84/87) is studied as a historic reference to provide a framework for comparing more recent processes with a long-term experience since the late 1980’. Four recent examples of self-organised projects that aim to provide spaces without profit are presented with the focus on their creation processes. The article further explores the specific relationship between Berlins’ actual housing crisis and various forms of self-organised reactions to it. Finally, the research tries to explore possible impacts these projects might have on formal local planning structures in a long-term perspective.

Urban Emancipation and the Post-political Condition N2 - Through an exploration of emancipation in recent processes of capitalist urbanization, this book argues the political is enacted through the everyday practices of publics producing space. This suggests democracy is a spatial practice rather than an abstract professional field organized by institutions, politicians and movements. Public Space Unbound brings together a cross-disciplinary group of scholars to examine spaces, conditions and circumstances in which emancipatory practices impact the everyday life of citizens. We ask: How do emancipatory practices relate with public space under ‘post-political conditions’? In a time when democracy, solidarity and utopias are in crisis, we argue that productive emancipatory claims already exist in the lived space of everyday life rather than in the expectation of urban revolution and future progress Y1 - 2018 SN - 978-1-138-21309-8 SN - 978-1-315-44920-3 PB - Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group CY - New York ; London ER - TY - GEN A1 - Viderman, Tihomir A1 - Knierbein, Sabine T1 - Reconnecting public space and housing research through affective practice T2 - Journal of Urban Design N2 - In autumn 2015, activists and refugees in Vienna appropriated train stations for shelter. This paper explores their affective practices in order to reflect on their agency to transform predominant ways of understanding and inhabiting public space. At the place of arrival they made their private domain of everyday struggles a part of public space. In so doing they have produced a powerful means for confronting socio-spatial inequalities. Affective practice can therefore be interpreted as the spatialized critique of alienated conditions of everyday life.

Within the historical context political-administrative categories are definitive, while the origins of this city type are related to, among others, inheritance and geomorphological factors. Currently the once strictly negative connotation is beginning to take a positive turn. Although the growing metropolitan centers dominate the contemporary scientific and societal discussions, the “Provinzstädte” are increasingly gaining importance and attention (cf. Institut für Stadtplanung/ BTU 2017; Baumgart, Overhageböck, Rüdiger 2011; Bell, Jayne 2009; Hodos 2011; Schmidt-Lauber 2010). The analysis of the term’s etymology and interpretation comprise the first part of the paper and the basis for the subsequent examination of this city type. Methodologically five selected case studies will be analyzed and relevant qualitative characteristics deduced. Several hypotheses will then be developed to be discussed among the session participants. Spatial-structural and -ordering, functional and life-world characteristics of the selected “Provinzstädte” will be examined and discussed. In addition to demographic characteristics also qualitative factors such as regional location, centrality, function, historical development of increased significance, urban structure etc. will be introduced. The discourse on “Provinzstädte” will be placed in relation to further discussions with primarily qualitative approaches that are used in part within the German context but also internationally, e.g. Global City, Regiopole, “Schwarmstadt” etc. Y1 - 2018 SP - 498 CY - Gothenburg ER - TY - GEN A1 - Viderman, Tihomir A1 - Knierbein, Sabine T1 - Affective urbanism: towards inclusive design praxis T2 - Urban Design International N2 - This paper conceptualizes affective urbanism as both research framework and praxis, engaging professionals and concerned publics alike in the insurgent making of cities. With its focus on affect and bodily encounters, it taps into the rich knowledge of practices of improvising and inventing in everyday life, which tend to fall outside the realm of discursive and visual representations. An analysis of spatial practices of the collective Plataforma de Afectados Por La Hipoteca in Barcelona illustrates how a mobilization of affects fosters not only individual, but first and foremost a collective capacity to negotiate belonging, appropriate space and contest alienated conditions of everyday life. The argument rests on the hypothesis that affect implicates the ethical engagement with people at places of everyday life, thus producing a medium and means for transgressing socio-spatial divides and challenging practices of exclusion, othering and dispossession. The value of this kind of work does not necessarily lie in the quality of conceived or materialized design, but rather in enacting an inclusive and empathic design praxis which connects to people’s multiple lived spaces and cultivates lived space of deep and caring social relations.

While enabling even the most complex forms and processes to be encapsulated by visualisation strategies, such an endeavour also streamlines and homogenizes space, largely disregarding asymmetries in power relations and experiences within hierarchically produced lived space. My contribution introduces a pedagogical approach which aims to extend the domain of the study of urban form beyond the assumed rational objectivity of visual analysis and behavioural methodologies. It draws from a relational-material epistemology and affect theories as promising analytical resources for enhancing a productive and ethical relationship between everyday spaces of urban inhabitants and the praxis of urban design and planning. While giving attention to material and affective notions of lived space and spatial praxis, in particular those which are difficult to convey in words and visuals, this epistemology opens disciplinary fields to a range of explorative methodologies and experimental methods which nurture transdisciplinary and empathic learning. Based on experience of a two-week workshop in Porto, Portugal, this contribution discusses how empowering students to take active part in creating learning methods reveals and renders urban morphology a political project and lived space. By developing methods mindful of lived, cultural, social and material differences in urban space the students introduced the politics of materiality and affectivity as key dimensions of the production of shared places of ethical interaction with the other. The relevance of such an approach lies in developing an inclusive perspective as regards everyday spatial praxis of urban inhabitants: their collective capacity to negotiate belonging, to appropriate space and to contest structural constraints through practices of improvising and inventing that are part of everyday life.

Politics of socialist heritage in Croatia T2 - Three Decades of Post-socialist Transition. Conference Programme N2 - A visibility of Yugoslavia’s architectural heritage has over the last 30 years been built within spaces of representation which have appeared fragmented across successor countries and rather vaguely situated within their institutional frameworks. Owing to these spaces of representation, a wide range of various aspects of Yugoslav urbanization from different epistemological perspectives have been pushed into the global narrative of modernity. However, little is known about how exactly these spaces of representation have been instituted during and after the breakup of Yugoslavia and what kind of meaning and aesthetics they inscribe into socialist heritage. In order to critically reflect on these spaces, this contribution relates the curatorial and activist praxis that discursively evokes and recreates socialist modernity to contemporary processes of capitalist urbanization. The hypothesis of this contribution is that such a praxis has a very territorial dimension as it promotes a particular aesthetic of urbanization. While inscribing into the representations of socialist heritage celebrated notions of localized differences and informality of everyday life, they override the heritage of macroeconomic and spatial master-planning of territory. Based on qualitative content analysis and ethnographic methods of participatory observation and interviews, the activist and curatorial praxis in Croatia will be scrutinized concerning both the contents and funding, to understand how it inscribes a particular perspective on the political and professional role of planning and design professionals, both in socialist heritage and the city politics. The two key moments are recognized in the praxis: (1) promoting socialist modernity as an emancipatory project while smoothing out ambiguities regarding colonial dimensions of the geopolitics of inequality, thus contributing to (2) the dissolution of the state-controlled planning framework in favour of a patchwork of institutions, institutionalized NGOs, and (global) market players.

Taking this background into consideration, this contribution reviews how the Iranian administrative-academic apparatus of urban conservation has utilised collective identity-driven desires to maintain its function over different periods. Here, official urban conservation is conceptualised as an assemblage of human/non-human elements that has continuously created and consumed the need for attaining original (Iranian) approaches to urban conservation. As a recent example of this phenomenon, the debate on the application of the pre-Islamic concept of Iranshahr in contemporary urban conservation is discussed. Data sources such as news, legal documents, academic publications, interviews, public meetings, and urban settings are used to show how the official urban conservation generally works in Iran. In conclusion, the author experiments with viewing the role of the collective identity-driven desires in the Iranian urban conservation apparatus from a deleuzoguattarian perspective.

Neue Impulse und Nutzungen für Zentren mit Zukunft N2 - Wenn die Leitfunktion des Handels in den Zentren von Klein- und Mittelstädten sowie Stadtteilzentren größerer Städte abnimmt, steht die räumliche Planung in Bezug auf die (Weiter-)Entwicklung urbaner Zentren vor neuen Herausforderungen. Ausgehend von aktuellen Trends der Zentrenentwicklung werden Konsequenzen für alte und neue Nutzungen aufgezeigt und Handlungsempfehlungen entwickelt: Es bedarf Transformationsstrategien, die im Kern eine neue multifunktionale Nutzungsmischung durch Ansiedlung ergänzender, frequenzbringender Nutzungen neben dem Handel beinhalten, um lebendige und attraktive (Stadt-)Zentren zu erhalten. Die öffentlichen Räume als „gute Stube“ sind um nicht kommerzielle Aufenthaltsqualitäten aufzuwerten, um die Identifikation der Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner mit „ihrem“ Zentrum zu fördern. Die Zentrenentwicklung wird als eine Gemeinschaftsaufgabe gesehen, an der unter Federführung von Stadtpolitik und -verwaltung die verschiedenen Akteursgruppen aktiv mitwirken. Zudem werden Instrumente der Zentrentransformation vorgestellt, mit denen schnell, flexibel und situationsangepasst zukünftige Entwicklungen gestaltet werden können.

They have been increasingly examined since the late-twentieth century. However, scant attention has been paid to spatial interactions resulting from the digitalisation of all areas of life and work as well as the continuing advance of information and communication technologies. In short, there is a lack of verified studies and results regarding the effects of digitalisation on urban space. The urban function of retail can be used as an example to illustrate spatial changes promoted by technological developments, for two distribution channels that are moulded by digitalisation and are spatially relevant – physical retail and the growing field of e-commerce – are increasingly being intertwined. This paper presents the initial findings of an exploratory study into the spatial distribution patterns of selected developments in physical retail that are significantly influenced by digitalisation. Using a multi-stage methodology, more than 800 articles from online news portals pertaining to the year 2018 were analysed, categorised and evaluated with respect to spatial relevance, potential for spatial influence and the impact of digitalisation.
