Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The teaching language of this exercise is German. However, the inputs, discussion contributions and literature used by the course instructor will also take place in English. The students are free to provide evidence of performance and contributions to the discussion in German or English.“Locally driven Alternative Food Networks (AFNs)” are a hot topic in urban development and spatial planning. Urban gardening projects, food coops, farm stands and direct marketing, weekly markets, solidarity farming, urban agriculture, vertical agricultural food production, and many more pose the perennial question to scientists and planners: Where can land for these initiatives be found and secured?Downstream from this question of land availability, we add critical geographic perspectives that consider aspects of equity, accessibility, education, and caring. Locally driven Alternative Food Networks (AFNs) will engage us this semester both as a concept and as a practice. Students will set out to find exciting examples of "Alternative Urban Food Networks", exploring the city and its suburbs. We elaborate on the differences and similarities of networks and urban spaces that are (not yet) used for "Alternative Food Networks". We develop different types of spaces and actor networks, explore the history of these food production practices and their connections to other sectors, create our own typology, and ask what uses might be feasible in the future.Students will gain insight into important concepts of spatial research and applied spatial planning, including: Relational approaches, structural change, urban food production, urban densification, spatial planning frameworks for after-use concepts, etc. This is complemented by an insight into methods of spatial science and systems thinking, which are applied independently and in group work.
Assessment and permitted materials
For successful completion, reading assignments, individual as well as group work (incl. presentation and written deliverables) and regular participation in the common appointments have to be completed. More information will be provided in the first session on 3/15 (mandatory attendance for all) and on Moodle afterwards.Assessments can be completed in either German or English.For orientation:
The first date will be 3.10
The dates from 21.11 - 05.12.2023 will be held in whole groups, but also as individual tutorials.
The final class will be held as a 'poster fair' with the location to be determined.
