Urban Underground Spaces: Future Questions
21 October / 13:00 – 16:00 / NI:A0502
Urban underground space development is widely considered as an effective approach to help contemporary cities to achieve urban sustainability, resilience, liveability goal sand efficiency when it comes to service delivery. We have organised this workshop to formulate question(s) about policy, governance, public engagement and investment, that will further our thinking when it comes to the integration of urban underground spaces into planning practices. We invite urban planners, geographers, architects, engineers, artists, environmentalists, geologists to join us on a 3-hour discussion about the role urban undergrounds are playing in the development of cities all over the world – from waste management and groundwater resources to data centres and critical transport infrastructure. Come and take part in an exciting exchange about urban integration and urban underground spaces.
This workshop requires registration (deadline 15th of October). Please follow this link for more information and registration.
Screening and lecture (in collaboration with MEDEA)
Robert Saunders
Screening the Nordic City: The Politics of Place and Space in Contemporary Crime Series
10 December / 18:00 – 20:00 / Salong 1, Panora (Friisgatan 19D, Malmö)
My lecture will focus on screening the city in Nordic noir (and ‘near noir’) series, highlighting the ways in which televisual representation ‘brands’ cities in the era of Fremdbebilderung or the state of being ‘totally engulfed by foreign images’. Focusing on various aspects of the ‘city’ (place, space, politics, policy, governance, flows, history, economics, architecture, culture, integration, gender, social interactions, etc.), my talk will critically assess the benefits and problems of being seen as a zone of violence (regardless of the day-to-day realities of the typical Nordic city).
Roundtable with: Bo Reimer and the actor Gabriel Flores Jair.
