Enabling the City is a collaborative book that focuses on how
interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary processes of knowledge
production may contribute to urban transformation at a local level
in the 21st century, striking a balance between enthusiastic
support for such transformational potential and a cautious note
regarding the persistent challenges to the ethos as well as the
practice of inter and transdisciplinarity. The rich stories reflect
different research and local practice cultures, exploring issues
such as ageing, community, health and dementia, public space,
energy, mobility cultures, heritage, housing, re-use, and renewal,
as well as more universal questions about urban sustainability and
climate change, and perhaps most importantly, education. Against
this backdrop, aspirations for the 21st century are related to the
international, national, and local agendas expressed in the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in the New Urban Agenda
(NUA), raising fundamental questions of how to enable development.
We highlight aspects of transformative learning and ways of
knowing, critical to any collaborative and participatory process.

The challenge of housing is increasingly recognised in
international policy discussions in connection to the processes of
migration, climate change, and economic globalisation. This book
addresses the challenges of housing and emerging solutions along
the lines of three major dynamics: migration, climate change, and
neo-liberalism. It explores the outcomes of neo-liberal "enabling"
ideas, responses to extreme climate events with different housing
approaches, and how the dynamics of migration reshape the urban
housing provision in a changing world. The aim is to contextualise
the theoretical discourses by reflecting on the case study context
of the eleven papers published in this book. With forewords by
Raquel Rolnik (University Sao Paulo) and Mohammed El Sioufi
(UN-Habitat).
