Saving the Wooden Town of Trondheim - A Study of an Urban Planning Discourse
Abstract
Saving The Wooden Town of Trondheim A Study of an Urban
Planning Discourse.
This article is based on the PhD thesis The wooden town of Trondheim
A cultural heritage in decay (Kittang 2006), and is focusing
on the public debate on the urban development of Trondheim from
1965 to the present. The article tries to shed light on why the attitudes
to renewal or preservation were subject to such a sharp debate
and change in the town planning policy, and the ways in which these
attitudes are expressed in todays debate on urban planning and development.
The study applies a social constructivist approach and a
discourse perspective to the investigation of the formation of these
attitudes and this shift in the appreciation of the wooden towns characteristics
and qualities.
