Transience and Permanence in Urban Development Workshop: Call for abstracts

Workshop: 'Transience and Permanence in Urban Development'

 University of Sheffield, January 2015

 

Organisers: Prof. John Henneberry and Dr. Simon Parris

 

Please see attached call for abstracts for a small, research intensive workshop examining transience and permanence in urban development. 

Proposals are invited for original papers to be presented at the workshop and subsequently to be considered for inclusion in a significant joint publication.

Post-industrial cities have experienced a dramatic growth in vacant/derelict land and buildings, raising questions about how such sites may be used temporarily for social, economic or environmental benefit, and about how these transient uses may affect the long-run trajectory of urban development. A burgeoning literature on temporary uses has evolved. However, this field is in need of consolidation and development. The aim of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for critical reflection on transience and permanence in urban development. 

The deadline for applications is 14 July 2014. Decisions on the workshop invitations will be made by 28 July. Full papers will be required by 31 December 2014.

Reasonable expenses of lead authors will be met. Other authors are free to attend at their own expense. 

Please see attached call for full details.
