CITY HABITS

A TWO DAY WORKSHOP EXPLORING HOW HABITS ARE SHAPED BY URBAN GOVERNANCE, MILIEUS AND MATERIAL FORMS

Dates: 6-7 November 2019
Venue: Room 21, Level 6 1PSQ, Parramatta Square (169 Macquarie Street, Parramatta) Parramatta City Campus, Western Sydney University
'Habit' is a term that is rarely used in contemporary urban policy, it is considered decidedly old-fashioned. However, assumptions about habit as unthinking repetitive actions persist in categories like behaviour or practices.

Equally significant is the way in which certain classifications of humans that are central to urban governance such as: commuters, residents, consumers, litterers, migrants or crowds, depend on implicit beliefs about the interactions between habits, freedom, will and repetition. Just as cities shape people in certain ways, they also shape habits. The issue is how do these three elements - urban milieus, people and habits - interact and mutually influence each other?

Looking at a range of urban settings and current issues, this workshop explores the habit/city nexus and the ways urban environments and governance provoke habits, know habits, and make them calculable as sites of social regulation.

The workshop includes panels on Habit Infrastructures; Sensing Habits/Habit Data; Habit, Space and Difference and Mental Life and the Modern City. It will also involve a hands on Littering Walkshop in the City of Parramatta.

Speakers include: Tony Bennett, David Bissell, Andrea Connor, Ben Dibley, Simone Fullagar, Gay Hawkins, Stephen Healy, Nicole Kalms, Abby Lopes, Nick Manning, Donald McNeill, Greg Noble, Nikolas Rose, Gavin Smith, Yolande Strengers.
