The Fairville project team invites you to the first session of Dialogues in Coproduction, an online public seminar series dedicated to the co-production of just cities. Our ambition is to help consolidate an international community of practice interested in exploring and learning from real-life experiments addressing the growing social, spatial, environmental and political inequalities in our cities. The Dialogues in Coproduction are open to residents, activists, academics and professionals, alongside other actors from civil society organisations and local governments.
For the first session of the Dialogues, we are delighted to bring into conversation two presentations discussing experimentations with co-production in Brazil and India.
‘Activist Co-production for the Right to Occupy, Hold Ground, and Upgrade’ by Ana Paula Pimental (University of Michigan)
‘Co-producing knowledge in action: Reflecting from the Main Bhi Dilli campaign for equitable planning in Delhi’ by Ruchika Lall (Indian Institute for Human Settlements), Malavika Narayan (Cornell University) and Rashee Mehra (Indian Institute for Human Settlements).
These cases are part of Special Issue ‘Co-producing the Just City - Interrogating the Civil Society/Academy Interface’, Planning Theory Journal (Volume 23 Issue 4, November 2024).
The papers will be introduced by the guest editors of the Special Issue - Barbara Lipietz (The Bartlett Development Planning Unit, University College London) and Agnès Deboulet (Paris 8 University - LAVUE/CNRS).
Discussant: Mona Fawaz (American University in Beirut).
The seminar will take place on Tuesday 8 April at 2 pm (CET), via Zoom. Registration via the link below:
The seminar will be held in English, but translation into French will be provided.
Organization : Agnès Deboulet (LAVUE / Université Paris 8 - CNRS), Barbara Lipietz (DPU - University College London), Philippe Urvoy (LAVUE / Université Paris 8 - CNRS)
Translators : Juliette Lefeuvre and Elouan Quignette
About the Fairville project
The Fairville project is an international and collaborative research project funded by Horizon Europe (EU’s funding programme for research and innovation), for the period 2023-2026. The project intends to address embedded urban inequalities and the challenge they raise to democracy in large cities and urban regions. It will do so by supporting co-production and bottom-up collaboration engaging citizens collectives in low-income neighbourhoods. The project intends to use participatory action-research and the co-production of knowledge as strategies of spatial justice to address urban inequalities affecting cities, mainly in Europe, but also in Africa. The research project is based on eight Fairville labs, mostly linked to citizen-led initiatives run by local groups partnering the project, in eight European and African cities (Athens, Berlin, Brussels, Cairo, Calarasi, Dakar, London and Marseille).
As part of the Fairville project, the Dialogues in co-production (in the continuity with the previous Mutual learning seminars) intends to become a regular meeting where researchers, associations, citizens and activists exchange ideas on their working methods and actions.
We look forward to seeing you there,
The Fairville team
