Comm~unity. From a place to live to a shared neighbourhood

This publication is about neighbourhoods undergoing change where there is a lotof movement, construction and alteration, including through urban developmentprojects. All these changes affect life and living together in these neighbourhoods.This is an issue not just in the planning phase, but also when projects are carried out,especially when new residents move in.Working on living together in a changing neighbourhood is central to this publication.We propose a number of methods and actions, interspersed with our own experiencesin a specific neighbourhood in Ghent. In collaboration with residents andother parties involved, the meanings, histories and future possibilities of a neighbourhoodare described and – by entering into a dialogue – influenced.These methodologies are fed by conceptual frameworks on urbanisation and livingtogether, explained in this book. They are linked to strategies that have taken shapein the methodologies.The book ‘From place to shared neighbourhood’ aims to provide inspiration forconceptual reflection and to actively work on (positive) ways of living together inchanging neighbourhoods.
