With the rapid intensification of urbanisation, cities have increasingly become targets, terrains, and territories of conflict. Cities are now seen as spaces of conflict, ranging from urban violence to warfare. Yet the city is also seen as a space of consociation, a place for rebuilding and for making new urban ties, lives and associations.
How do we map and document cities in and after conflict? What is the relation between the material city and conflict? Have new urban forms produced new forms of violence? How do we understand violence in everyday urban life? Is it possible to construct new forms of urban life after conflict?
This conference explores these questions by bringing together sociologists, urban theorists, photographers, documentary makers, architects, architectural theorists, urban planners, and lawyers to explore four panel themes: Architectures of Conflict, Cities at War, Urban Violences, and Reconstructing Urbanity, together with an exhibition and roundtable discussion of images of cities in conflict.
