The conference seeks to revisit and clarify place as a concept for current urban design theory and practice. It invites papers that examine the definition, scope and instrumentality of place as a tool for design.
Keynote Speakers:
Amanda Reynolds, Chair of the Urban Design Group
Ali Madanipour, Professor of Urban Design, Newcastle University
Themes:
- Theoretical definitions and the conceptual components of place
- Methodological studies that suggest a form of analysis or pedagogy
- Case studies that examine the specificities of place
Contributions will be organised in thematic sessions. Selected texts will be published in an accompanying book.
