Driving change? ‘Doing’ conflict in traffic experiments

In: Conflicts in urban future-making: Governance, institutions, and transformative change, Editors: Monika Grubbauer, Alessandra Manganelli, Louis Volont

In this chapter, Günay analyses how conflict is ‘done’ in the context of a planned traffic experiment in the city of Giessen in Germany. From the analysis, she derives five ways of ‘doing’ conflict and discusses their implications for emerging power relations and the agency of the actors involved. By asking how conflict becomes productive and for whom, the chapter contributes to debates on the role of conflict in urban planning, particularly in relation to the ‘making’ of urban mobility.
