Sustainability and the Construction of Space in Urban Discourse

该项目的目的是调查如何构建城市可持续发展的话语，并作为城市识别标记/建议的媒介。因此，重点是以美因茨和威斯巴登这两个区域首府为例，讨论城市在可持续性和可持续发展原则方面的差异。这些信息将通过以下两部分问题获得，同时说明了双重理论方法（即对可持续性话语和城市空间构成/构成的研究）：1）基于语义-概念和论证-修辞分析，可以证明什么样的城市特定的可持续性理解？可持续性的三个维度（即经济、生态和社会）是如何以及在何种程度上得到强调的？2)在市政可持续发展话语的框架中，城市空间是如何构成的？这些可持续构成的空间，包括它们的相互联系或相互交织，如何在语言上被识别和分析？在何种程度上它们可以被归类为识别标记？此外，这些标志是否同时以一种有效的方式在城市中精确定位"可持续发展的地方"？

The aim of the project is to investigate how urban sustainability discourse is constructed and publically mediated as urban identification markers/proposals. The focus therefore lies on city-specific differences in discourse on the principle of sustainability and sustainable development, using the regional capitals of Mainz and Wiesbaden as examples. This information will be obtained using the following two-part question, which at the same time illustrates the dual theoretical approach (i.e. research on sustainability discourse and the urban composition/constitution of space):1) What kind of city-specific understanding of sustainability can be demonstrated on the basis of semantic-conceptual and argumentative-rhetorical analyses? How and with what degree of emphasis are the three dimensions of sustainability (i.e. economy, ecology and society) semiotically and argumentatively generated in particular?2) How are urban spaces constituted in the framework of municipal sustainability discourse? How can these sustainably-constituted spaces, including their interconnectedness or interweaving with each other, be linguistically identified and analyzed? To what degree can they be classified as identification markers? And, in addition, do these markers serve at the same time to pinpoint "Places of Sustainability" within the city in a descriptively effective manner?
