«A City That Not Only Functions, but Lives»
Interview with Urban Sociologist Ingrid Breckner (HCU)
Die Architekt, Nr. 3/25

Contribution, Interview


How does migration change our cities not only in terms of planning, but also in terms of everyday relationships, expectations and attributions? Ingrid Breckner, a retired urban sociologist at HCU Hamburg, has long been researching urban development, governance and the conditions of arrival. In her research, she describes the city not only as a place of arrival, but also as a space of constant negotiation: between visibility and exclusion, between access and control. 

In conversation with urban researcher Alesa Mustar, a dialog about participation, power, language and the city as a contradictory space of negotiation emerges: permeable, fragmented, open to the unexpected.
