[Kaupunkitutkimus] Academy project seminar 15.8. “City crafting: visualisation as a tool for spatial policy”

[Söderholm Maria]

You are warmly wellcome to

SCENSLECO* Academy project final seminar “City crafting: visualisation as a tool for spatial policy”.
In the seminar we will explore the potentials and perils of the visual aspects of persuasive “storytelling” in strategic planning and spatial policy making. Our keynote, Stefanie Dühr, is the author of the acclaimed book “The Visual Language of Spatial Planning”, a key reference to much of research on maps and visual images in planning. Other presentations probe multiple aspects of visualisations in strategic spatial planning.

15.8.2019, 10-16

10:30-12:15        Keynote: Continuity and change. Visual(ising) strategic spatial policy in Europe: questions for planning practice and research
                              by Stefanie Dühr, University of South Australia
”Visualising is a powerful instrument for strategic spatial policy. There is a pronounced need to break with traditional epistemological assumptions of a rational-scientific cartography in planning, and to prepare planners for future challenges arising from co-operation on informal spatial strategies. This requires planners to think ‘outside the box’, and to consider new ways for the appropriate cartographic representation of dynamic and relational aspects of nonbinding spatial policy at all levels of scale.”

13:00-16:00     Presentations:
“A great [Nordic] city is full of stories!” Tools of persuasion in urban development videos. Helena Leino & Markus Laine, Tampere University
