DESIGN FOR THE POST-NEOLIBERAL CITY
Design for the Post-Neoliberal City – Civic City-Conference 1 -, invites international researchers and practitioners from a range of disciplines to critically investigate the neoliberal city’s production of urban spaces and its impact on everyday life. Particular attention will be paid to the question how the current global economic crisis serves to accelerate or modify these tendencies. In conclusion, discussion will turn to how the crisis of neoliberal ideology may simultaneously be an opportunity to imagine urban concepts which exceed the primacy of the economic manoeuvres.
