Project Details

Description

Writing Urban Places proposed an innovative investigation and the implementation of a process towards the understanding of communities, their society, and their situatedness through narrative methods. In particular, by recognising the value of local urban narratives – stories rich in information regarding citizens' socio-spatial practices, perceptions and expectations –, the Action articulated literary approaches with spatial disciplines, bringing together scientific research efforts in the fields of literary studies, urban planning and architecture.

CECC participated in the work pursued by the working group nr. 2: Theoretical framework. Define and update an operative theoretical framework.
