Special issue of OASE: Narrating urban landscapes
"Today, a new type of redevelopment is high on the agenda: that of suburban areas around or between cities.

However, suburban areas often seem to lack the site-specificity and the history of inner cities and brownfields...
We are looking for two types of contributions. First, we invite contributions of/on (landscape) architects and urban planners using a narrative approach in analysis and design today. Which techniques are used, and how are they brought into practice? Second, we invite theoretical and/or historical reflections, taking the exploration of the experiential and narrative aspects of urban landscape in history as a starting point for a critical reflection. Who constructs the narrative, how and why? How does the narrative relate to power relations? Can narrativity provide a way of conceiving of subject-object, reader-writer as active relationships instead of as opposites?"
