Timescapes of Urban Change
Start:

Time and space lie at the centre of
discussions on urban redevelopment projects. The making of urban space
is in many ways a materialisation of the passing of time socially,
financially, and politically. Yet, those using the city inhabit and
create a diversity of temporalities. Hence, urban change is underpinned
by a multiplicity of temporal narratives, practices and ideologies which
operate at different speeds and intensities, sometimes converging,
other times conflicting, to produce a particular sense of place.
