Architecture is politics and, creating new spaces in already existing cities, can only be done by restructuring. The focus on planning to minimize investor involvements and make cities and quarters liveable places to come together and bring also politics into a social space, is still neglected.
When people say that #Hamburg for example is a nice city, you really have to search for open places in which it is possible to meet people in neighborhoods and quarters. This is not only done to maximize housing and business opportunities, but also a political act to minimize places to control social organization.
When #GiletsJaunes started meeting at traffic intersections in #Paris this was also an act to create those political spaces that are missing, or have been taken from us.
Of course, meetings online are easily created and spatiality can be structured while you go, but still directness and emotional factors cannot really be transported.

Cultures of Assembly – Cultures Of Assembly
This podcast series is a collective work, part of the research conducted by the Chair of Urban Regeneration at the University of Luxembourg. The new Chair and its studio produces immersive research by exploring site-specific materials, oral histories, existing situations, and political frameworks—in short: alongside publics and their narratives. This exploration is complemented with an archive of experiences that help us in the analysis of the local context, engaging into conversations with international researchers, artists, curators, politicians, economists, and activists.
