- PublikationDigital rights to the city: local practices and negotiations of urban space on Decidim(Cogitatio Press, 2024) Suter, Aline; Kaiser, Lars; Dušek, Martin; Hasler, Florin; Tappert, Simone [in: Urban Planning]The organization, management, and production of urban space through digital information and communication technologies have become a central means for governing urban life. To overcome a lack of citizen-centered practices in today’s smart cities, governments and municipalities institutionalize citizen-centered digital infrastructures such as Decidim, a digital infrastructure proposing non-corporate, decentralized, and collaborative forms of digital production to evoke participatory governance practices and ultimately social transformation (Barandiaran et al., 2018). Swiss city administrations have adapted the Decidim platform for participatory budgeting processes and city-wide participation platforms since 2019. This article explores the process of institutional adoption, focusing on how the use of Decidim impacts local practices and negotiations for governing urban space. The examination of the Decidim platform in the Swiss cities of Zurich and Lucerne will be framed by re-conceptualizing Lefebvre’s right to the city in the age of digital transformation. The findings show that for a successful introduction of the Decidim platform based on principles of the right to the city (a) local needs for a new digital democratic instrument need to be pre-existent, (b) government employees must implement a scope of action which allows organized civil society and grassroots initiatives to appropriate the infrastructure for their own purposes, and (c) local practices of hybrid communication and organizing must be aligned with the structure of the platform. Nevertheless, digital participation tools such as Decidim cannot solve entrenched inequalities such as the financialization of land, the issue of disadvantaged neighborhoods, or the absence of voting rights for certain communities. Therefore, city administrations need to integrate hybrid participation strategies which prioritise collective power over distributive power as well as tackle urban inequalities through political means.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationEditorial. Citizen participation, digital agency, and urban development(Cogitatio Press, 2024) Tappert, Simone; Mehan, Asma; Tuominen, Pekka; Varga, Zsuzsanna [in: Urban Planning]Today’s exponential advancement of information and communication technologies is reconfiguring participatory urban development practices. The use of digital technology implies new forms of decentralised governance, collaborative knowledge production, and social activism. The digital transformation has the potential to overcome shortcomings in citizen participation, make participatory processes more deliberative, and enable collaborative approaches for making cities. While digital tools such as digital mapping, e-participation platforms, location-based games, and social media offer new opportunities for the various actors and may act as a catalyst for renegotiating urban space and collective goods, digitalisation can also perpetuate or even attenuate existing inequalities and exclusion. This editorial introduces the thematic issue “Citizen Participation, Digital Agency, and Urban Development” which focuses on the trajectories and (dis)continuities of citizen participation through digitalisation and elaborates this with examples from Europe and Asia on how the digital transformation impacts, challenges, or reproduces hegemonic power relations in urban development.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift

- PublikationUrban gardening and green space governance: towards new collaborative planning practices(Cogitatio Press, 2016) Nikolaidou, Sofia; Klöti, Tanja; Tappert, Simone; Drilling, Matthias [in: Urban Planning]In the context of urban densification and central urban areas’ lack of open spaces, new forms of small-scale urban gardening practices have emerged. These gardening practices respond to urban pressures and open new modes of green space governance, presenting alternative and multifunctional ways to manage and revitalise cities. Focusing on the case of Geneva, the article unfolds two levels of discussion. On the one hand—and with reference to the theorist Habermas—it examines how multiple actors with different interests interplay and cooperate with each other in order to negotiate over open space, while discussing implications for local politics and planning. On the other hand, it describes how these negotiations result in new, innovative, and hybrid forms of public green space. The main findings indicate emerging forms of collaboration, partnerships, and governance patterns that involve public and private sectors and increase participation by civil society actors. Cooperation amongst several interested groups and the collective re-invention of public urban spaces increase these spaces’ accessibility for multiple users and actors, as well as present possibilities for alternative and diversified uses and activities. This might underline the hypothesis that future cities will be governed in less formalised ways, and that urban forms will be created through spontaneous, temporary, mobile, and adaptive negotiation processes.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- Publikation"Was für Grün in der Stadt?"(2016) Klöti, Tanja; Tappert, Simone; Drilling, Matthias [in: Standort - Zeitschrift für Angewandte Geographie]Städtische Grünräume sind zentraler Gegenstand aktueller urbaner Aushandlungsprozesse darüber, wie sich die Stadt zukünftig zu entwickeln habe. Diese Stadtideale spiegeln sich auch in den Bedeutungen, welche aktuell dem städtischen Gärtnern zugeschrieben werden. Dabei kommt dem Verhältnis zwischen Mensch und Natur sowie zwischen bebauten Räumen und Naturräumen in der Stadt eine besondere Rolle zu. Die Studie zeigt auf, dass Familiengärten und neue Formen urbanen Gärtnerns in Schweizer Städten im Spannungsfeld zwischen einem kompensatorischen und korrespondierenden Naturverständnis stehen und sich in ihnen die Sehnsucht nach ursprünglicher Natur mit dem Anspruch an funktionale Grünräume in der Stadt verbinden.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
