Накратко на български

Индустриалното развитие на Северно море, включващо вятърни паркове и нефтени платформи, се разглежда като разширение на градските системи. Разбирането на тези процеси помага за по-доброто управление на морето, като се вземат предвид екологичните и социалните нужди, а не само икономическите.

the unseen spaces of extended urbanization in the North Sea

OCEANURB addresses the issue of the intensive use of the North Sea and the resulting transformation of spatial relations, which threaten the sea’s ecological balance and create new, unfamiliar geographical places offshore. “Extended urbanization” (Brenner & Schmid) is the extension of urban systems into distant areas, previously understood as rural or natural, including the sea. The North Sea is considered one of the most industrialised seas in the world and supports transportation and communication infrastructure, installations for the oil and gas industry, an increasing number of areas dedicated to offshore wind and an important fishing industry. These high levels of urbanization have not been recognized because they remain invisible to the general public and planning and management of the offshore is in governmental hands. The overall objective of the project is to render the processes of urbanisation unfolding in the North Sea visible, to demonstrate the continuum of these processes across the land-sea threshold and therefore to promote the sea as a cultural commons. Throughout history the North Sea has been the centre of vital exchange and provided great wealth to its littoral countries. The project aims to reverse the view of the sea as a periphery or a void, and demonstrate its central role in the production processes of the region and beyond and its importance as a cultural space. The research hopes to raise awareness and to encourage public engagement in the sea-space. Ultimately this engagement could evolve into new stewardship models, which will pressure spatial planning to include socio-cultural and ecological concerns, rather than purely economic concerns. The project therefore promotes a holistic, inter-disciplinary view of the ocean which connects its geo-physical, biological and socioeconomic dimensions through spatial means and uses spatial analysis to enable the invisible urbanization processes in ocean space to be represented, evaluated and shared to a range of stakeholders, academics and the general public.

Цел на проекта

This proposal investigates the ocean as a spatial realm and the site of unfolding urbanization processes- a challenging new field within urban studies.The project aims to,1. promote a holistic, inter-disciplinary view of the ocean which connects its geo-physical, biological and socio-economic dimensions through spatial means. Rather than a peripheral realm, or a void, the ocean is placed at the geographical and epistemological centre of current territorial developments, which represents a paradigm sift in perspective and is beyond the state of the art. The project proposes methods of spatial analysis that enable the invisible urbanization processes in ocean space to be represented, evaluated and shared as data to a range of stakeholders and academics- a new contribution to urban theory.2. Support theoretical reflections by producing a case-study on current urbanization processes in the North Sea, in collaboration with a territorial study of North Sea settlement led by the supervisor’s chair. The two-way transfer of knowledge takes place across the land-sea threshold, demonstrating how the greater sea-space has influenced urban development. The North Sea project achieves a continuity of analysis across the interlocking land- and sea-sides – something that has never been achieved at the scale of the Sea as a whole and therefore stands to rewrite understandings of regional urbanization.3. Critically examine and theorize the contradictory spatial dimensions of maritime transport as a sub-topic- although the backbone of globalization, consuming increasing on- and offshore areas, carrying increased loads, shipping’s spatial typologies are elusive, lacking architectural quality and interaction with urban contexts. Through the project the researcher will profit from first-hand experience and exchange with the European hub of maritime trade and an excellent research environment, gaining new specialist knowledge in the field which is applied to enrich urban research.
