Abstract

PurposeThe paper explores the potential value of urban assemblage theory as a conceptual framework for understanding the role heritage has in social sustainable urban placemaking. The authors conceptualise urban placemaking as a dynamic and complex social assemblage. Heritage is one of the many dimensions of such a complex and dynamic urban assembly. Based on the approach to urban assemblage theory, the authors aim to uncover how postindustrial city-making unfolds. When approaching the case studies, the authors ask the following: Whose city for which citizens are visible through the selected case studies? How is social sustainability achieved through heritage in urban placemaking?Design/methodology/approachThe main research material is derived from theoretical literature and the testing of an assemblage methodological approach through three Norwegian urban regeneration case studies where heritage partake in urban placemaking. The three case studies are the Tukthus wall (what is left of an 19th century old prison), the Vulkan neighbourhood (an 19th century industrial working area) and Sørengkaia (an 19th century industrial harbour area) in Oslo, Norway. The three case studies are representing urban regeneration projects which are common worldwide, and not at least in a European context.FindingsThe paper reveals the dynamic factors and processes at play in urban placemaking, which has its own distinct character by the uses of heritage in each of the case study areas. Placemaking could produce “closed” systems which are stable in accordance with its original functions, or they could be “open” systems affected by the various drivers of change. The paper shows how these forces are depending on two sets of binary forces at play in urban placemaking: forces of “assemblages” co-creating a place versus destabilising forces of “disassembly” which is redefining the place as a process affected by reassembled placemaking.Research limitations/implicationsFor research, the authors focus on the implications this paper has for the field of urban heritage studies as it provides a useful framework to capture the dynamic complexity of urban heritage areas.Practical implicationsFor practice, the authors state that the paper can provide a useful platform for dialogue and critical thinking on strategies being planned.Social implicationsFor society, the paper promotes the significance in terms of fostering an inclusive way of thinking and planning for urban heritage futures.Originality/valueThe paper outlines dynamics of urban regeneration through heritage which are significant for understanding urban transformation as value for offering practical solutions to social problems in urban planning. The assemblage methodological approach (1) makes awareness of the dynamic processes at play in urban placemaking and makes the ground for mapping issue at stake in urban placemaking; (2) becomes a source for modelling urban regeneration through heritage by defining a conceptual framework of dynamic interactions in urban placemaking; and (3) defines a critically reflexive tool for evaluating good versus bad (heritage-led) urban development projects.
集合城市主义:遗产在城市布局中的作用
目的探讨城市组合理论作为一种概念框架的潜在价值,以理解遗产在社会可持续城市场所建设中的作用。作者将城市场所营造概念化为一个动态和复杂的社会组合。遗产是这样一个复杂而充满活力的城市综合体的众多维度之一。基于城市集聚理论的研究方法,作者试图揭示后工业时代的城市建构是如何展开的。在进行案例研究时,作者提出了以下问题:通过所选的案例研究,哪个城市的公民是可见的?社会的可持续性是如何通过城市场所营造中的遗产来实现的?设计/方法/方法主要研究材料来源于理论文献,并通过三个挪威城市再生案例研究对组合方法方法进行了测试,其中遗产参与了城市场所的塑造。这三个案例研究分别是挪威奥斯陆的Tukthus墙(19世纪旧监狱的遗迹)、Vulkan社区(19世纪工业工作区)和Sørengkaia(19世纪工业港区)。这三个案例研究代表了世界范围内常见的城市更新项目,至少在欧洲范围内是如此。研究结果揭示了城市场所塑造的动态因素和过程,这些因素和过程在每个案例研究区域的遗产利用中都有自己独特的特征。场所创造可以产生“封闭”的系统,但其原始功能是稳定的,也可以是受各种变化驱动因素影响的“开放”系统。本文展示了这些力量是如何依赖于在城市场所营造中发挥作用的两组二元力量:共同创造场所的“组合”力量与“拆卸”的不稳定力量,后者将场所重新定义为一个受重新组装的场所营造影响的过程。研究局限/启示在研究方面,作者着重于本文对城市遗产研究领域的启示,因为它提供了一个有用的框架来捕捉城市遗产地区的动态复杂性。实践意义对于实践,作者指出,这篇论文可以为正在规划的战略提供一个有用的对话和批判性思考平台。社会意义对于社会而言,本文提出了在培养包容性思维方式和规划城市遗产未来方面的重要性。原创性/价值本文概述了通过遗产进行城市更新的动态,这对于理解城市转型为城市规划中的社会问题提供切实可行的解决方案具有重要意义。集合方法方法(1)使人们认识到城市场所营造中发挥作用的动态过程,并为城市场所营造中利害攸关的制图问题奠定基础;(2)通过定义城市场所创造中动态互动的概念框架,成为通过遗产进行城市更新建模的来源;(3)定义了一种批判性反思工具,用于评估好与坏(遗产主导的)城市发展项目。
