In this special issue we reflect on the downside of approaches oriented on rationality, consultation and consensus, based on the hypothesis that there is often too little attention to existing interests, power and struggle. The result is that some form of innovation sometimes takes place, but also that the effect is limited. Patterns, factors and actors that maintain the current situation are often insufficiently part of the innovation.
#6 Progress through friction
Progress through Friction is the sixth edition of the magazine Bewogen Stad. In this issue we explore the productive nature of contradictions and conflicts from various projects. This time the authors pay special attention to the role of conflicts in complex collaborations, in experimental forms of governance and around learning and securing knowledge.
