Example text
It is a city where par excellence there has been spatial construction of national identity (Ireland or the UK). For example, as Neill noted, Stormont, the parliament building designed in the 1920s for the statelet of Ulster that emerged after the partition of Ireland, is ‘read’ very differently by unionists and nationalists in the city. In Belfast, enclosed communities either side of the sectarian divide demarcate their territories by a host of visual symbols. Murals, painted kerbstones and community facilities define the identity of these places.
Planners typically use quite a restricted set of ‘texts’ to communicate. The written plan and accompanying map is probably the main one, though it may be supplemented by exhibitions, newsletters, or reports to politicians. Typically they are operating what Amundsen (2001:17) called a ‘consensus genre’. g. a provocative letter to the press or a demonstration. There may be negotiation or the exercise of power, co-operation or ongoing challenge and dissent. However, if we accept that ‘all texts are narratives’ and, following de Certeau (1984:95), that ‘the ruses and combinations of powers that have no readable identity proliferate’, then we should also expect that part of the identity of a place will be constructed by everyday practice.
For example, the NoordXXI project revolved around a narrative that depicted the partner regions as rural areas around expanding cities, places where people live ‘in a safe and well-known environment’ but have to commute to work from areas where jobs in traditional primary and manufacturing sectors are declining. Further absorption into commuting would undermine this traditional identity and deny the potential of that identity to generate an economic, environmental and lifestyle alternative to the remorseless spread of the city.
