Happy to announce our new paper, "Found in Lostness: Community Visions for Multiple Future-Making," co-authored with my dear colleagues Oksana Zaporozhets and Sophia Reidl, and published open access in Urban Planning. This is the first of three papers resulting from our project "Cities 'Becoming Lost': The Ruptures of Grand Narratives of Modernity." The project examines places marked by rupture, and where communities actively engage in ongoing processes of meaning-making and future-making. Focusing on JHQ Rheindahlen,a former joint headquarters of British Forces and the NATO Northern Army Group in Germany, we explore how futures that seem inaccessible are nonetheless expressed through small, everyday actions, and how grand plans and lived future-making unfold in parallel, perpetually (mis)reflecting one another.
