Co-producing Urban Spaces : Collaborative Methods Towards an Insurgent Urbanism

Abstract

How can collaborative methods of planning and design act as tools to develop insurgent urbanism? Juliana Canedo analyses practices that arise from the protagonism of marginalized communities and the accumulative knowledge of academic and non-academic actors. This approach sees architects, urbanists, and other city-building professionals as co-producers of space that contribute to transforming society by co-developing experiences through the interaction with a complex set of actors aiming to create mutual learning environments. From a methodological perspective based on transdisciplinary experiences, she provides tools that can be used in interdisciplinary fields of study.
