Between innovative ambitions and erratic everyday practices: Urban planners’ ambivalences towards digital transformation
Great expectations are being projected onto digital transformation as a solution to planning under uncertainty and complexity, while demanding new skills from and posing challenges to professionals. We address the ambivalent inclusion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in everyday planning practices. How do ambivalences towards digitalisation as either a transformative process or as an intrusion upon everyday routines play out i…
Towards a “Freiburg Model” of Housing for the Common Good? Fostering Collaborative Housing in Urban Development
As the social and ecological costs of capital-driven housing markets become increasingly apparent, local governments are (re)establishing collaborations with housing organizations that prioritize affordability and sustainability over profits. This hesitant re-orientation, however, takes place under conditions of strained local budgets and the inscription of market principles into existing public policies and planning law. In this article, we deve…
Cross-fertilizing knowledge, translation, and topologies: Learning from urban housing policies for policy mobility studies
Recently, urban housing policies in Europe have become more mobile, developing local responses to the housing question by building on examples from other cities. To understand the movement of policies, the policy mobility debate suggests sometimes irreconcilable concepts and we still need concepts that address the spatial dimension of how urban housing policies travel between places. The article reflects on the extent to which selected concepts –…
Comparative urbanism in times of Covid-19 and beyond
Living with a pandemic has transformed the everyday lives of citizens globally. For researchers engaged in qualitative comparative approaches that are contingent on travelling across borders, especially those of us living and writing in locations away from where we research, the pandemic has raised practical and methodological questions. Restricted movements and heightened border controls since March 2020 have transformed our practices as early c…
The Europeanization of metropolitan regions from below: Comparing the European engagement of two archetypical metropolises
Since the early 2000s, the Europeanization of metropolitan regions from below takes place in a political process with variable geometry and differential intensity. While ‘the metropolitan’ as a political label and research topic has witnessed an impressive upswing in Europe, a concrete understanding of the Europeanization of metropolitan regions is still missing. This article highlights and explains the Europeanization of metropolitan regions in …
Who governs’ Berlin’s metropolitan region? The strategic-relational construction of metropolitan scale in Berlin–Brandenburg’s economic development policies
‘Who governs’ Berlin’s metropolitan region—and how? The article addresses this question by inquiring into the way metropolitan space is being constituted in current economic development policies for Berlin–Brandenburg. It follows the hypothesis that no single-unitary understanding of metropolitan space exists in Berlin as expression of an explicit metropolitan project, but rather a heteronomy of policy practices which express diverse and possibly…
Metropolitan regions as contested spaces: The discursive construction of metropolitan space in comparative perspective
Metropolitan regions as contested spaces: the discursive construction of metropolitan space in comparative perspective. Territory, Politics, Governance. This paper explores how metropolitan space as a spatial category of politics and policies is constructed discursively. It sheds a light on a variety of discursive, ideational or cognitive practices that contribute to the production of metropolitan scales. It understands metropolitan space as an o…
