Note
This a short statement in a publication intended to inform research, practice, and public discussions on the role of surfaces in urban environments, and provides research informed contributions that addresses the following prompts:
1. Share a definition of urban surfaces pertinent to their discipline and field of research or practice.
2. Propose three concepts for advancing urban surfaces knowledge.
3. Introduce an example or case study of their surface-related work.
The publication is the result of the second international workshop of the Urban Surfaces Research Network (USRN), established in 2023 by Sabina Andron, Konstantinos Avramidis, and Tom Ward.
The USRN brings together researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, to examine the roles and uses of urban surfaces, and their contribution to the formation of urban cultures, politics, and atmospheres. It is a multidisciplinary group held together by a shared empirical interest and a passion to untangle the affordances of surfaces for citizenship, belonging, media, economy, law, and justice - the list continues.
