Während die transdisziplinäre Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft im Reallaboransatz als Potenzial für die Erzeugung von Transformationswissen angesehen wird, gibt es noch offene Fragen bei der methodischen Umsetzung. In diesem Beitrag argumentieren wir, dass Erzählformate eine Möglichkeit darstellen können, um der Herausforderung der Gleichzeitigkeit von Partizipation und Forschung zu begegnen und so zur konzeptionellen Ausgestaltung partizipativer Methoden im Reallabor beitragen. Unsere Erkenntnisse ziehen wir aus dem Forschungsprojekt INTERPART, das den Reallabor-Ansatz nutzt, um den Fragen nachzugehen, wie sich interkulturelle Räume der Partizipation in der Stadtentwicklung mit Hilfe von Online-Diensten und sozialen Medien erweitern lassen und welche institutionellen Veränderungsprozesse dafür erforderlich sind. Das Projekt involviert verschiedene wissenschaftliche Disziplinen – hier an der gemeinsamen Autorinnenschaft von Raumplanung und Designforschung sichtbar – und Praxisfelder. Zentrale Erkenntnisse des Beitrags umfassen, wie mit Erzählformaten die Ko-Produktion von transformativen Wissen gelingt.
Participatory urban planning does not take place outside of social systems of privilege and discrimination; likewise, the negotiation of knowledge claims in planning processes is embedded in social relations defined by “gender,” “race,” and “class.” In this article, we argue that positionalities play out in the social construction of knowledge in participatory planning and that, consequently, a certain type of knowledge—typically represented by well-educated and resourceful residential groups—is privileged over other forms of everyday knowledge. We present storytelling as an inclusive approach to co-producing knowledge and reflecting on the extent to which the findings can be applied to participatory urban planning. This article is based on a three-year inter- and transdisciplinary research project based on real-world laboratories in two German neighbourhoods. Regarding feminist geographies, we first explore the role of power, positionality, and situated knowledge in shaping participatory planning, both theoretically and empirically. We outline the extent to which the methodological framework and the socio-spatial setting have an impact on the co-production of knowledge. We present insights from two storytelling interventions and reflect on the possibilities and limits of narrative knowledge production for participatory urban planning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
