It traces dynamics in inner city neighbourhoods of South Africas post-apartheid capital, Pretoria. Viewing the city through its most vulnerable people and places, it recognizes that urban space is never neutral and shaped by competing value frameworks.</p><p>The first part of the book invites planners, city-makers, and ordinary urban citizens, to consider a new self-understanding, reclaiming their agency in the city-making process. Through the metaphor of "becoming like children", planning practice is deconstructed and re-imagined. A praxis-based methodology is presented, cultivating four distinct moments of entering, reading, imagining and co-constructing the city. After deconstructing urban spaces and discourses, the second part of the book explores a concrete spirituality and ethic of urban space. It argues for a shift from planning as technocracy, to planning as immersed, participatory artistry: opening up to the "genius" of space, responsive to urban cries, and joining to construct new, soul-full spaces. Local communities and interconnected movements become embodiments of urban alternatives through resistance and reconstruction; building on local assets; animating local reclamations; and weaving nets of hope that will span the entire city.</p><p>Providing a concrete methodology for city-making that is rooted in a community-based urban praxis, this book will be of interest to urban planning researchers, professional planners and designers and also grass-root community developers or activists.</p>...2197420City-making, Space and Spirituality11281128https://www.gandhi.com.mx/city-making-space-and-spirituality/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2039016/f8a81ccd-27bf-417d-936b-5d06a7729a7f.jpg?v=638345511409200000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781000929898_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9781000929898_<p>This book is about the soul of the city, embodied in its spaces and people.
