Today the street is synonymous with anxiety, worry, anti-social behaviour: nothing of this is new. The opposite is also true however, as urban renewal, major infrastructure and monumental architectural projects are all invested by planners and policy-makers with the expectation that they will redeem depressed areas and renew the social and physical fabric of neighbourhoods and communities: again, this also applies to the past. Though firmly based in the context and experience of Early Modern Europe, this project seeks to view the process of urban change as witnessed along streets, with a comparative perspective offered by contemporary practice and experience. In relation to the public space of streets, we will consider these major themes: the relation between ephemeral performances and permanent urban change; the performative siting of violence, punishment and protest; surveillance, policing and control; gossip and the circulation of news; street sounds. The network aims at an historical understanding of contemporary problems concerning street culture, by addressing issues that could also help reframe current issues, thus feeding into public policy. This objective will also be advanced by the network's varied constituencies and the involvement of our project partners, CABE (Commission for Architecture and Built Environment). The network is led by Fabrizio Nevola, whose previous work on Early Modern Siena (Siena: Constructing the Renaissance City, New Haven and London 2007 and co-author of the exhibition catalogue of the National Gallery's recent Renaissance Siena: Art for a City) is characterised by an interdisciplinary approach to the urban environment. He is currently engaged in a new comparative research project that considers the interaction between commerce, urbanism and palace architecture in Early Modern Italy, in which streets are a key factor. It is planned that the network will create a vibrant research community that will look at new methodologies by bringing together historians, art historians, architectural historians, cultural anthropologists, social geographers, architects, urban planners, performers and artists, to discuss the social and physical environment of the street in a cross-disciplinary manner and across a broad chronological sweep.The Street life and street culture network will meet eight times over a two year period. The place and form of the meetings will vary. The first will be in Oxford, where the team will invite a number of speakers and respondents from cultural anthropology, the professions of architecture and planning, and local community services. It will include an on-site visit/seminar based around the Cowley Road. The objective will be to explore shared interests and agendas that inform our historical study with contemporary debates on 'street culture'. Subsequently there will be three workshops/symposia, again with outside speakers, that address specific themes of the project / the temporary and ephemeral use of urban space, violence/conflict/control, and gossip/information/sound. The network team will hold an overseas meeting in Siena which is scheduled to coincide with the Palio, an event where the city's physical and social fabric interact in a way that is both traditional and contemporary. This will include a seminar with cultural anthropologists and local administrators. We also plan to hold a sponsored session at the annual conference of the American Society of Architectural Historians. The final conference in London will present our findings with a broad range of speakers and respondents

今天，街头是焦虑、担忧和反社会行为的代名词：这并不是什么新鲜事。然而，情况也恰恰相反，因为城市更新、重大基础设施和纪念性建筑项目都是由规划者和决策者投资的，他们期望这些项目将拯救萧条地区，更新街区和社区的社会和物质结构：这同样适用于过去。虽然牢固地建立在早期现代欧洲的背景和经验的基础上，这个项目试图通过当代实践和经验提供的比较视角，观察沿着街道见证的城市变化过程。关于街道的公共空间，我们将考虑这些主要主题：短暂的表演和永久的城市变化之间的关系;暴力，惩罚和抗议的表演地点;监视，警务和控制;八卦和新闻的流通;街头声音。该网络的目的是从历史上了解当代街头文化问题，解决的问题也有助于重新界定当前的问题，从而为公共政策提供投入。这一目标也将通过网络的各种支持者和我们的项目合作伙伴CABE（建筑和建筑环境委员会）的参与来推进。该网络由Fabrizio Nevola领导，他之前关于早期现代锡耶纳的作品（锡耶纳：建设文艺复兴城市，纽黑文和伦敦，2007年，国家美术馆最近的文艺复兴锡耶纳展览目录的合著者：城市艺术）的特点是对城市环境的跨学科方法。他目前正在从事一个新的比较研究项目，该项目考虑了现代早期意大利的商业，城市化和宫殿建筑之间的相互作用，其中街道是一个关键因素。根据计划，该网络将创建一个充满活力的研究社区，通过汇集历史学家、艺术历史学家、建筑历史学家、文化人类学家、社会地理学家、建筑师、城市规划师、表演者和艺术家，在一个十字路口讨论街道的社会和物理环境-街头生活和街头文化网络将在两年的时间里举行八次会议。会议的地点和形式将有所不同。第一场将在牛津举行，该团队将邀请来自文化人类学、建筑和规划专业以及当地社区服务的一些演讲者和受访者。它将包括一个现场访问/研讨会的基础上周围的考利路。我们的目标将是探索共同的利益和议程，告知我们的历史研究与当代辩论“街头文化”。随后将举办三个讲习班/研讨会，也是由外部发言人参加，讨论项目的具体主题/城市空间的临时和短暂使用、暴力/冲突/控制和八卦/信息/声音。该网络团队将在锡耶纳举行一次海外会议，该会议计划与Palio同时举行，Palio是一个城市的物理和社会结构以传统和现代的方式相互作用的事件。这将包括与文化人类学家和地方行政人员举行一次研讨会。我们还计划在美国建筑历史学家协会的年度会议上举办一次赞助会议。在伦敦举行的最后一次会议将与广泛的发言者和受访者一起展示我们的调查结果
