Abstract
Cities are not neutral sites in which people enter. They are not
  only physically built but are perceived, narrated, interpreted and
  imbued with power relations (Massey/Jess 1995). People experience
  places with their specific socio-spatial relations depending on
  their positionalities, including class, race/ethnicity, gender and
  religion. Spatial organization is integral to the production of
  social relations and power relations and not merely its result
  (Massey 1994).
 This panel explores how individuals and groups make, imagine and
  enlive cities and the multiple places that constitute them, and
  how social relations are linked to spatial organizations, but also
  how places are negotiated and contested, demanding makeshifts and
  improvisations. We focus on the city=E2=80=99s recently arrived dwe=

llers (Saunders 2010) and residents newly claiming their urban citizenship (Holston 2008).

 We welcome contributions on urban placemaking practices,
  including the socio production of places as well as their
  socio-material aspects, such as arrival infrastructure. Topics may
  include, e.g. the transformations of urban spaces and existing
  power relations; embodied/sensory phenomena (Pink 2008;
  Sen/Silverman 2013); or forms of resistance (Gupta/Ferguson 1997;
  Certeau 1984, Massey 1994). At the same time we encourage
  contributors to explore the larger political and economic local
  and global contexts, by addressing e.g. questions concerning the
  right to placemaking.
