Series of multi-disciplinary workshops and seminars in Glasgow and Gdansk exploring participatory approaches to planning and regeneration in de-industrializing, post-industrial and semi-industrial waterfront settings. The exchange involves a team of architects, planners, artists, activists, third sector citizen organisations as well as two museums (the European Solidarity Centre, Gdansk, and Glasgow's Riverside Museum). Three workshops have taken place so far and further conference presentations and a final conference are scheduled for 2016. Publications will follow in 2017/2018. We intend to connect this network to other AHRC Connected Communities projects, including the large grant on Hydrocitizenship, as it develops.
Our partners are providing comparative data, cross-cultural and comparative policy insights from Poland, as well as offering perspectives on intangible cultural heritage within the context of European debates on culture and regeneration.
Approaches and methods articulated through the development grant are informing the design and outcomes of the Govan-Gdansk research network.
