Key Notes on the Unruly City - Adam Bergholm defends his thesis

The thesis "Key Notes on the Unruly City – Social, Material, and Spatial Transgressions", consists of three intersecting field studies in Berlin, Copenhagen, and Paris, and includes both Adam Bergholm's interventions in the urban texture and integrations with existing communities working in the subject field of the Right to the City (Lefebvre 1968). The projects explore the mutable “nature” of cities and build on political philosophies which describe egalitarian actions that have shaped what those places could be. Laid out across three chapters (X, Y & Z) are descriptions of work processes for multiple projects that locate a social and spatial phenomenon which Bergholm calls “the unruly city".
