Urban-Rural Assemblya Handbook For Co-Visioning Interconnect

As our planet is becoming increasingly urbanized, the ways we think about cities and urbanism are also being fundamentally reconfigured. However, current urban planning approaches often remain stuck in urban-rural dualisms that do not reflect the multilayered interrelationships and material flows of goods and people in these increasingly interconnected urban-rural regions. The Urban-Rural Assembly handbook brings together reflections and best practices using the example of dynamically transforming living labs in an urban-rural region in eastern China. With the help of innovative methods and analytical concepts, this region is being captured from multiple perspectives in order to identify important starting points for a sustainable transformation of wider territories. The book provides practical guidance on how to collaboratively investigate, envision, and plan today’s urban-rural regions worldwide.
