Conference of the European Association for Urban History /16./. Main Session 22: Disruptions of Urban Infrastructure in the Second Half of the 20th Century

Original language description

Cities as historically evolved entities are by definition always in flux. And yet there are periods of disruption in their history that pushed them to the limits of their resilience: Natural and man-made disasters, refugee flows and epidemics, the settlement and departure of industry, commerce or the military, or the building and fall of the Berlin Wall are such situations. How flexible were European metropolises in the second half of the 20st century in adapting to such challenges? What happened to their infrastructure when they grew and shrank, their age structure changed, political and economic conditions shifted abruptly and irreversibly? Contributions are desired on the transformation of infrastructures of living and working, of education, culture and recreation that became visible in the cityscape. The following questions could guide the contributions: Which urban infrastructures were particularly affected by disruptions? How did cities differ in their response to such changes? Are there path dependencies and rules that urban adaptation processes followed? What are they? Are they the same everywhere? Can we find examples of particularly high resilience of cities in the face of disruption? Or, on the contrary, of inflexibility and dysfunction? How can such adaptation processes be visualized, for example on maps or with the methods of digital history? How did the adaptation processes affect the quality of life and attractiveness and ultimately the sustainability of cities?
