Call for Papers for Kassel Yearbook
The word "caution" has made a career in the eighties, when the "careful urban renewal" pursued by then replaced the brachial reconstruction. Not surprising that the subject "Urban Renewal - Urban Redevelopment" of the University of Kassel, this term became the motto stands: Under the title "The Future of caution" searches the field contributions for a conference in Kassel on 14 and 15 June 2012, which will be subsequently published in an "urban renewal Yearbook 2013".
The organizer asks these questions: "What results has the Behutsamkeitsparadigma in the urban renewal process yielded the past three decades, and how are they evaluated? How far can and should continue cautious approach last? How could a contemporary reinterpretation of Behutsamkeitsgedankens look like? Are the various dimensions (structural, social, functional) to evaluate the different caution? Where is a commitment to urban renewal demolition oriented approaches beyond reasonable interests of investors? Where are the other way around but must continue to observe the limits, the gentle urban planner? If the Behutsamkeitsanspruch of urban renewal after the end of the modern welfare state, only an alibi? Or whether caution does not mean the continuation of existing social structures, even where this need for renewal and produce downward spirals?
The organizer is looking forward to 31 January 2012 Abstracts for contributions in the amount of max. 4,000 characters.
