Focussing on the territorial and architectural dimension of peripheries, the conference is starting from a perspective of architecture, urban design, and territorial planning. "Dynamics of Periphery" aims at a design and research approach towards an innovative role of peripheries. It explicitly opens up also to related economic, ecological, social and cultural studies. Its focus is set on projects, plans, narratives, conceptualisations, scenarios, and strategy-building for peripheries as accelerators of change in sustainable territorial futures. The reader for the international conference and colloquium in May 2017 spreads statements from 35 designers and scientists form Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Indonesia, Paraguay. Organised by the Institute of Urban Design and Planning, Leibniz Universität Hannover in cooperation with the Department of Architecture, Università degli Studi di Palermo.
