The More-Than-Human Planning Event, and the Emergent Publicness of the Hollenderhagen Public Space in Risør, Norway
The paper advances a more-than-human perspective on planning events and contributes to broader understandings of public space development. It traces the transformation of the private Hollenderhagen garden in the small coastal town of Risør, southern Norway, into a public space, focusing on how the planning event unfolded amid chance, uncertainty, and temporal dynamics. The study also highlights the more-than-human entanglements through which a pl…
Planning competencies and transformative pedagogy for sustainable development
Understood as “a means by which society decides collectively what urban [and rural] change should be like and tries to achieve that vision by a mix of means.”, there is broad consensus that planning should fully incorporate the notion of sustainable development. Planners have a critical role in envisioning and driving local transitions to sustainable development. This requires transforming what planners learn and how they learn in higher educatio…
Poetics in the work of three urban photographers
By exploring the poetics of three photographers, this article attempts to capture the relationship between urban denizens and the ephemeral, tumultuous city. I understand poetics as arising from their spatial affection for, and sensemaking of, the city, which in turn engenders visual landscapes. I first outline poetics as the art of inhabiting, which generates affection for the city, drawing on the writings of Gaston Bachelard, Michel de Certeau,…
A rhizomatic research story about the changing landscapes of rooftop urbanism in Peckham, London
In this article, I introduce rooftop urbanism as a landscape between earth and sky. The concept of landscape provides a framework within which rooftop urbanism can be studied as a multi-sensuous, bodily lived relation with rooftop sites at various heights in the urban fabric. Through encounters with the materialities of the roof and the rooftoppers of the former Pioneer Health Centre in Peckham, London, I craft a rhizomatic research story. I disc…
Creative geographies in the age of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) expands the more‐than‐human perspective on creativity and creative geographies, as new techno‐material relations and spatialities are formed when humans and AI create together. In this paper, we suggest the concept of ‘co‐creative spatiality’ to refer to the special sites, relations and processes of human–AI collaboration in artistic creative practice. Our study builds on interviews with 26 Finland‐based artists who h…
Evolving Coagency between Artists and AI in the Spatial Cocreative Process of Artmaking
This article applies theoretical and empirical discussions of emerging human and digital technology relations to our interest in collaborative artist-artificial intelligence (AI) artmaking processes. Thus far, the theoretical focus has largely been on mediating (code) and merged (cyborg) human-technology relations, with mutual (coagency) relations yet to be adequately explored. To address this, we nuance the theoretical discussion and extend the …
Perceptions of Cultural Ecosystem Services
This study aims to identify and evaluate the spatial distribution of Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) benefits perceived by people in both urban and rural areas. A public participation GIS (PPGIS) approach was applied with local people who responded to an online survey and mapped their important places related to CES benefits in the Kokemäenjoki area. We explore the perceived ecosystem services of the community using different infrastructure typ…
Creative city, mobility, and creativity
Creative city, creativity, and mobility are interconnected. The creative city research focuses on long-term mobility of the creative class members: they ‘move in’ to a creative city. ‘Once in’ the creative city, the city is seen to (automatically) support the creativity of the individuals. However, artists and other creative class members constantly visit and work temporarily in creative cities. Moreover, the creation processes of individuals in …
Through Laser Scanned Point Clouds to Techno-Sight and a Landscape on the Move
Three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning is a geovisual technology used for precision scientific measurements and 3D representations of reality. Laser scanning technology produces point clouds, which are extraordinary kinds of images: commonly a combination of the laser beams’ journey between the scanner and the materialities of a site, and the photographs. In this article, I examine the confused surfaces of point clouds by focusing on the encounter…
Glass Architecture as a Site for Encountering the Surface Aesthetics of Urban Photography
This article brings glass architecture and geophilosophy into a relationship with one another with the further aim of studying surface aesthetics of urban photography. First I present a selected history of glass architecture and its previous methodological applications. Then, I focus on the characteristics of glass architecture—its permeability/reflectivity and capacity to act with light—in relation to the geophilosophies of Nietzsche and Deleuze…
The creative landscape of theatre–research cooperation
This article continues the discussion on creativity in human geographical research. Drawing on Alain Badiou's writing on “two theatres”, I argue that the theatre–research cooperation as a landscape in motion can bring about creative landscapes. In this article, I discuss a collaborative project of participatory research and theatre that tested drama as a tool for urban planning. In the beginning of the project, theatre appears as a tool of inclus…
