In Reframing the Reclaiming of Urban Space: A Feminist Exploration
into Do-It-Yourself Urbanism in Chicago, Megan E. Heim LaFrombois
explores the concept of do-it-yourself (DIY) urbanism from an
intersectional, feminist, analytical framework. Interventions based
on DIY urbanism are small-scale and place-specific and focus on
urban spaces which can be reclaimed and repurposed, often outside
of formal urban planning institutions. Heim LaFrombois examines the
discourses and processes surrounding the institutionalized and
embedded nature of DIY urbanism. She weaves together sites and
sources to reveal the ways in which DIY urbanists make sense of
their participation and experiences with DIY urbanism and with the
broader political, social, and economic contexts and spaces in
which these activities take place. Her research findings contribute
to and build on current research that illustrates the importance of
gender, race, class, and sexuality to cities, local politics, urban
planning initiatives, and the development of communities.
--focuses exclusively on the planning discipline and explicitly on
progressive, transformational, and regenerative approaches to
utilizing university-community partnerships as part of planning
curricula --includes unwieldy projects that require a complex
understanding of the community and critical thinking in order to
devise plans/proposals that address ‘messy’ interrelated issues
in real communities --authored contributions and perspectives from
academics, professional practitioners, and academic-practitioners
--focuses on linking theory with practice in terms of exploring
more abstract and academic topics (e.g., pedagogy and higher
education issues) alongside more practical topics (e.g., case
studies, best practices, barriers, and logistical issues).
