Jenny Stenberg
Jenny Stenberg, associate professor in urban design and planning, Chalmers University of Technology, Department of Architecture, focus in her education and research on social aspects of sustainable development and in specific on citizen participation in planning, so called codesign and interplace planning (www.interplace.se). As part of this she initiated the master course Suburbs—design & future challenges (suburbsdesign.wordpress.com) given by Chalmers Architecture – a course where design students learn codesign in a ‘million program’ context (housing built in the 1960s and 70s). She was also one of the initiators of the Centre for Urban Studies Hammarkullen, which Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg started together in a million programme area in Gothenburg. The centre aimed at being an innovative and creative platform for research; for development and implementation of professional programs; for widening participation to higher education; and to support of citizen participation in community building. In terms of research, Jenny has been responsible for two projects on the them of codesign and interplace planning: Urban Empowerment: Cultures of Participation and Learning (www.urbanempower.se) funded by Mistra Urban Futures; and INTERPLACE–How can citizen initiatives interplay with invited participation in urban planning? (www.mellanplats.se) funded by Formas.
