This PhD course will focus on how to explore urban space and what and who it is for. Participants are invited to explore the qualities of Kristiansand and the people and activities it welcomes. We will also, in three different parts of the city, learn about how different actors intervene in the production of space, in what way they succeed or what prevents them from achieving their goals. The course has three elements, the first focuses on place-sensitive and immersive urban planning methods, the second addresses planning processes and the various actors involved and the third element is the participants' own project work.
The applications form for FORTHEM short-term mobilities is now open until Monday, December 16th 2024. The results of applications will be sent per email at the end of January 2025.
