Enabling the City

Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Encounters in Research and Practice

«

"This intellectually and visually attractive book offers an invaluable guide to the innovative inter- and transdisciplinary ideas, vocabularies and tools for crafting more sustainable urban futures. Applied case studies from Newcastle to Ljubljana and Tallinn to Calabria, by authors from diverse communities of practice, demonstrate the transformative power of combining different knowledges in co-productive collaborations. This is sure to become a landmark in its field." David Simon, Professor of Development Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

"Transpositional knowledge has the power to ignite innovation and enrich collaboration when applied across the complex urban contexts that define the cities of today. The multi-regional and multi-scalar ethnographic accounts offered in this book illustrate the agency inter and in particular transdisciplinary approaches offer diverse stakeholders, at a time when the imperative for fostering cooperation couldn't be more acute." Harriet Harriss, Dean of the School of Architecture, Pratt Institute, US

Enabling the City is a collaborative book that focuses on how interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary processes of knowledge production may contribute to urban transformation at a local level in the 21st century, striking a balance between enthusiastic support for such transformational potential and a cautious note regarding the persistent challenges to the ethos as well as the practice of inter and transdisciplinarity.


The rich stories reflect different research and local practice cultures, exploring issues such as ageing, community, health and dementia, public space, energy, mobility cultures, heritage, housing, re-use, and renewal, as well as more universal questions about urban sustainability and climate change, and perhaps most importantly, education. Against this backdrop, aspirations for the 21st century are related to the international, national, and local agendas expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in the New Urban Agenda (NUA), raising fundamental questions of how to enable development. We highlight aspects of transformative learning and ways of knowing, critical to any collaborative and participatory process.
