Lecturers Roger Hildingsson and Johannes Stripple organised a small-scale mobile lab (29/9) focusing on 'planning for low carbon futures' in the new Brunnshög area in the northeast of Lund.
On the walk it became obvious that politics are everywhere -in the question of land, zoning and ownership, in the detalis and grey zones of the codes, norms and building regulations, in the decisions around mobility, from trams and cars to electric bikes, courier services and walkable neighborhoods, in the visions and imaginings of what Brunnshög wants to be, and who Brunnshög is for.
Taking inspiration from multisited ethnography The Mobile Lab enables researchers to explore social and material dimensions of field sites in a collaborative and dialogical fashion.
Mobile labs have previously been done on low carbon urban development in Malmö, electric mobility in Copenhagen, District heating in Lund, smart city developments in Stockholm and Chicago.
