Phnom Penh:
planned and un-planned
City planning and land use in Phnom Penh: looking back from “now” to “then”.
Thomas Kolnberger, Université du Luxembourg
Space is a social product and the production of city space in particular is a
cooperative act, combining town planning from “above” and individual land use from “below”.
Therefore, any dichotomy of “planned” versus “un-planned” is a false dichotomy.
Looking back from Phnom Penh’s “now” (after the fall of the Khmer Rouge-regime)
to “then” (colonial times), this lecture will highlight the on-going production of spatial relations
between “planning from above” and “from below” as grass-rooted urban planning.
