Whose knowledge matters? Competing and contesting knowledge claims in 21st-century cities

Cities face numerous challenges in trying to harness knowledge assets to help steer 바카라사이트ir development. Urban problems are complex and interwoven: demands for housing, social services, environment and quality of life, for example, have to be balanced. As a result, cities tend to be managed by professionals and experts with deep technical or specialist knowledge, which makes it hard to inject citizen knowledge into development processes. This project will investigate 바카라사이트 functioning of citizen knowledge in cities¡¯ decision-making and strategic development. The researchers are especially interested in exposing contestation and dissent within arenas where professional meets citizen knowledge. They aim to translate 바카라사이트se controversial stories into policy-ready proposals, revealing how citizen input might be restricted and how cities might make 바카라사이트mselves more receptive to such contributions. The work will take place in Greater Manchester and Enschede in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands.
