Mapping dialectics: ways to understand and support collective place-making in the context of a residential subdivision
Article No.: 20, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
Based upon Lefebvre's dialectic thinking, this paper discusses how mappings can expose as well as inform place-making in the context of a long-term PD process in a suburban residential area. We analyse mappings that played a crucial role in the process, introducing other ways of seeing, using and understanding (everyday) spaces. We describe four maps that each denote different types of dialectics and lead to different actions, collaborations or conflicts in the PD process. In this way, we aim to explore how the practice of mapping can give clues on how to voice difference (in meanings, uses and knowledge) among actors in a participatory urban design process and as such influence the place-making process.
