Re-industrialisation and progressive urbanism
One day conference, 13th of June 2013
(PARTICIPATION IS FREE OF CHARGE but please confirm your attendance in advance)
School of Architecture, Design and Environment; Plymouth University
Call for Abstracts
Could urban re-industrialisation be seen as a method of increasing business effectiveness in the context of a politically stimulated ‘green economy’? Could it be seen as a nostalgic mutation of a creative-class concept, focused on 3D printing, ’boutique manufacturing’ and crafts? These two notions place urban re-industrialisation within the context of the current neoliberal economic regime and urban development based on property and land speculation. The key question for this conference is could urban re-industrialisation be imagined as a progressive socio-political and economical project, aiming to create an inclusive and democratic society based on cooperation and symbiosis that goes way beyond the current model of a neoliberal city?
We invite abstracts (max. 300 words) for papers from researchers and practitioners from a broad range of disciplines, including, but not limited to architecture, urban design, planning, economics, sociology, anthropology, geography, and environmental science. We welcome submissions based on empirical research as well as theoretical and visionary investigations.
Abstracts will be selected for further development as papers to be presented at the conference. Papers shall be 2000 words maximum. Further submission requirements will be distributed to the authors of selected abstracts. Abstracts should arrive no later than Monday 1 April 2013.
Please send them in .doc or .pdf format to: krzysztof.nawratek@plymouth.
Keynote presentations and selected conference papers will be considered for publication following the symposium in an edited volume.
Keynote speakers (confirmed):
Professor Malcolm Miles, Plymouth University, UK
