Examining this liminal state, the\u00a0<strong>Local Cultures \u2013 Global Spaces<\/strong>\u00a0conference questions this idea as it appears at the intersection of cultural studies, sociology, human geography, architecture and urban planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It responds to debates around community networks and cultural traditions as independent of location. It addresses readings of the built environment as an isolated phenomena \u2013 as a series of constructed objects in, of, and for, themselves. Conversely, it acknowledges that how we live can be seen as inseparable from our built environments \u2013 our buildings, villages, towns and cities. In such readings, place may be defined as deterministic \u2013 as a central player influencing actions, and even identity. Positioning itself somewhere between these positions, Local Cultures \u2013 Global Spaces explores readings of societies and place as hybrid \u2013 as byproducts of the conflicting social, cultural and economic forces shaping our lives in multiple spheres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we take the city as a case in point, it can be critiqued as a site of displacement, economic inequity, gender marginalization and social exclusion. Viewed through such lenses, architecture, urban design and development policy simply ingrain the status quo. By contrast, for those celebrating cultural consumption, the city is a site for exchange \u2013 of ideas, experiences, identities, money, and more. Within this mix, the design of cities is central to the riches of globalization. It is where we find the Creative Class of Richard Florida, and where we enjoy the fruits of human production: cultural buildings, public spaces and the IT networks of the \u2018smart city.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Communities, People and Place Abstract Date: July 15, 2023 Conference Website The United Nations Human Rights and Habitat programmes connect how we live, to where we live.
