Grenzgeografien
Research on Conflict Urbanism
Grenzgeografien (Border Geographies) is a platform for intercultural research, publications, and public discourse. Run by Philipp Misselwitz and Tim Rieniets, Grenzegeografien investigates the production and use of urban space in conditions of conflict and spatial division. Through the close study of specific situations and everyday practices, a greater understanding is achieved of the general principles of urban conflicts. Research projects have included studies of Jerusalem and Berlin, bringing together European and Mideastern partners, institutions, international researchers, planners, architects, artists, as well as students with the aim of opening new perspectives on the subject. The results of Grenzgeografien's major research project on Jerusalem (2003–2006) formed the basis for the publication City of Collision - Jerusalem and the Principles of Conflict Urbanism (Birkhäuser Verlag, 2006).
Grenzgeografien collaborates with ETH Zurich (Professorship Kees Christiaanse), Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK) , Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem and the International Peace and Cooperation Centre Jerusalem (IPCC).
Grenzgeografien is supported by funds from the Allianz Cultural Foundation, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the DAAD, and other partners.
