CITIES AND

Space is both the product and the producer of society. Using space as a tool cities aim to pro-duce competitive and attractive local identities trough represen-tations, images and symbols.

American professor in sociol-ogy Sharon Zukin argues that this trend has created a sym-bolic economy in which cultural symbols and public culture are intertwined with commercial values. Symbols and “image” has increasingly become global commodities, and the economy of symbols has become an ac-tive driver in the production of space. Therefore, the symbolic economy alters the geogra-phy of cities and has taken an active role in creating repre-sentations of, and for the city.

The construction of places through rep-resentation is highly i n s t i t u t i o n a l i z e d nowadays. Citiesare launched and land-scapes formed with the help of regional cultural

IMAGINATIONS


With production and capital be-ing easily moved between differ-ent locations, and since borders no longer offers particularly high resistance to such move-ment, cities have been placed in a situation where they compete for investment. This has trans-formed the ways in which cit-ies are developed and managed. Within research these develop-ments are often summarized in terms as; the entrepreneurial city, urban entrepreneurship or urban governance. These con-cepts refer to strategies devel-oped for cities to be able to at-tract new investment and new residents. For cities to position themselves as competitive and attractive to live in has become more and more important.

The region of Stockholm has expressed the vision to be ”The most attractive region in Europe” , using the slogan - ”Stockholm the Capital of Scandinavia.” However, the discourses of com-


petitiveness, innovation, and development that cities are sur-rounded by today, represent only some stories, some populations, certain types of spaces - and a certain type of city. In the very attempt to create a representa-tion of an attractive city spatial divides emerge. What is consid-ered to be an attractive city and for whom becomes crucial: If the spatial imagination is such a powerful tool one must ask whose imagination is it that is represented, and can cites reach their full potential in not includ-ing all sorts of imaginations.

The emerge of an entrepreneur-ial city and its success stories are often portrayed as a consequence of globalization, But the relation-ship between an entrepreneurial city and the dominant economic political order is rather based on a dialectical connection. Ac-cumulation of capital is a place bound process that depends on society’s social and practical

interpretation. Although space is a product of society modes of production, social relationships and activities, it has at the same time an ability to organize, sta-bilize and reproduce society’s social relations. Space is at one and the same time a product and a producer of society. Reality is a social space , and society and space should therefore not be regarded as two separate things. They should rather be regarded as two aspects of one reality.

Reproductions of society’s so-cial relations and power rela-tions takes place in space, but are also made possible with space as a ”tool” and as a medi-um. How the spatially structured social reproduction occurs is a matter that is affected by more aspects than the spatial order of physical space. Social reproduc-tions have many localities and are supported by both abstrac-tions of the mind and of sym-bolic representations that can’t


”Awareness of spaces ability to structure

and reproduce society entails

a chance to analyze how space can be made into an instrument of domination

and exercise of power.”

Henri Lefebvre

fully be captured or explained.

According to French sociologist and philosopher Henri Lefeb-vre, production of social space is a complex process that oc-curs at multiple levels, from the global market and the gov-ernmental “macro level” to the “micro level” of individuals.

To further explain these concepts of space Lefebvre constructs a “conceptual triad” to explain the components of spatial pro-duction, these components are those of; the perceived spaces of ”spatial practices”, the con-ceived spaces of ”representations of space” and the lived spaces of spaces of representations. The perceived spaces that are psychical are often referred to as real, and conceived spaces referred to as imagined. Lived space, or spaces of representa-tion is therefore a combination of real and imagined space. Lefeb-vre imagines these lived spaces

as the ”hidden/invisible space” of social life, where mediation takes place through non-verbal symbols and codes. Introducing this third element in his triad of space, Lefebvre presents spaces of representations as means to de-scribe the transmission between the abstract and the physical.

Further, representations of space are created not only to depict reality; they are exploited as models of transforming it. Rep-resentations are used as means to dominate the social land-scape. Phenomena in material space are converted into sym-bols, and the space is designed in a “logic of visualization”. It evokes an architecture designed to be read; sight prioritised over the body’s other senses. As a result of a strict separation of functions, Tensta is an inverted city where the borders between private and public has been be-come inarticulated. In presenting


a guide map I wish to explore the hidden, and invisible assets in the spaces in which social life in Tensta takes place. In connecting what is already there, an attempt to reveal the assets in the area is made, turning the social in Ten-sta inside out. In reaviling these hidden assets, values can be cre-ated as means to alter the city.

In the act of presenting a cul-tural network in Tensta with a Culture House, an Idea Store, an Info Centre and Tensta Street Market, the public spaces of the central strip Tenstagången would be transformed. Today all these functions and activities are present but have no presence in the public space. Offering neither identity nor readabil-ity to the space. A cultural net-work could generate meetings, clashes and cross-fertilization. Integrating the area on a mi-cro scale, transforming Tensta from being a segregated district to becoming a network society.

HIDDEN ASSETS

AND PRESCENSEPRESENT

There are a number of activities and services that are present in Tensta that offers no precence nor readability to the public spaces in the area. The local ser-vice have extedned itself to the districts needs. Shops, cultual activities etc. has found spaces that where not planned for the use that it serves today. Tensta is a hidden city. The areas hidden assets connects Tensta and the area has it own logic of urban spatiallity. Looking further into what Tensta is made of a vibriant districts unfolds.

COLLECTING STORIES

STORY ITensta is a locked struc-ture, adding is almost impossible

STORY IIThere is not space for two large cultural insti-tutions in Tensta.

REFLECTIONS

QUESTION ICan this area be a host for culture?

QUESTION IIHow can the subject achive the ability and power to create and sustain, appropriate and control space in Tensta.

1. Some of the main actors spoken to where Tensta Träff, Tensta Konsthall, Livstycket, Tensta Against Crime rescidents and shopowners in the Area

In conversations with some of the main actors in Tensta(1) two reflections about the area where recurring and central. It was the issue of Tenstas flexebility and ability to meet the need of com-mercial growht in order for small scale buissnes to evolve. Anoth-er central issue in Tensta was the how the cultual activities where distributed. Since 1998 Tensta Konsthall was founded. The art space has in many ways put Ten-sta on the map. In 2003 Tensta konsthall faced some leadarship issues and in 2004 a new pro-grame was set. Tensta Kosnthall went from being a international artscen into becoming a local artspace.

Tensta wants to be much more than a rescidential area, and im many ways it is much more than that. With it’s over 17.000 rescidents it has traversed into becoming a district of Stock-holm holdig many functions that complements the city’s variaty of culture and commersial ac-tivities.Since the area has not been planned for many of the activi-ties that are present today. The question of how Tensta is ho-evolving into a vibriant distric and how the area can be a host for culture becomes more and more intersting.
