The proposed research explores the role of spatial production, and specifically Critical Spatial Practice, as an agent of radical imagination in contexts of urban conflict in both the global North and South. This focus aligns with the scope of the CDD pathway, as it explores how the mentioned practices, in a period marked by contestation and crisis, navigate and transform different structures of power, supporting the democratic development of cities and active engagement of civil society in the processes of claiming, designing, managing, and inhabiting the urban realm. The project also reframes the notion of conflict through the lens of 'radical imagination', turning it into a positive dynamic, a breeding ground for the radical change needed in times of crises, but also a fundamental force for the production of democracy. Moreover, the project recognises also the role of Critical Spatial practice as a catalyst for social movement, through its continuous effort to re-imagine society whilst acting within the present institutions. An extensive analysis of such practices could potentially provide insights on the role of spatial production in the creative resolution of conflicts and the democratic development of the urban realm

拟议的研究探讨了空间生产的作用，特别是关键的空间实践，作为激进的想象力的代理人在全球南北城市冲突的背景下。这一重点与CDD途径的范围相一致，因为它探讨了上述做法如何在一个以冲突和危机为标志的时期，引导和改变不同的权力结构，支持城市的民主发展和公民社会积极参与城市领域的主张，设计，管理和居住的过程。该项目还通过“激进主义”的透镜重新定义了冲突的概念，将其转变为一种积极的动力，一种在危机时期所需的激进变革的温床，也是产生民主的基本力量。此外，该项目还认识到批判性空间实践作为社会运动催化剂的作用，通过不断努力重新想象社会，同时在现有机构中发挥作用。对这些做法的广泛分析可能有助于深入了解空间生产在创造性地解决冲突和城市领域民主发展中的作用
