Whose knowledge matters? Competing and contesting knowledge claims in 21st-century cities

Cities face numerous challenges in trying to harness knowledge assets to help steer their development. Urban problems are complex and interwoven: demands for housing, social services, environment and quality of life, for example, have to be balanced. As a result, cities tend to be managed by professionals and experts with deep technical or specialist knowledge, which makes it hard to inject citizen knowledge into development processes. This project will investigate the functioning of citizen knowledge in cities¡¯ decision-making and strategic development. The researchers are especially interested in exposing contestation and dissent within arenas where professional meets citizen knowledge. They aim to translate these controversial stories into policy-ready proposals, revealing how citizen input might be restricted and how cities might make themselves more receptive to such contributions. The work will take place in Greater Manchester and Enschede in the Netherlands.
