Perception of Changes in the Urban Environment: Imaginary Spectra of Post-Industrial Development
https://doi.org/10.25205/2542-0429-2020-20-4-197-213
Abstract
Russian cities are in constant flux, i.e. both their material embodiment and social relations are changing. This article attempts to analyze the process of perception of the ongoing changes by the example of Novosibirsk. The information base of the study is the data obtained from a telephone survey of the residents of
the Novosibirsk region designed to show a picture of the perceived changes in the urban environment in
quantitative categories, and the data from semi-formalized interviews with the city residents conducted to
reveal the meanings put into this picture. Dichotomies – extreme points of imaginary spectra describing
the process of perception – are used as an analytical tool of the study. As a result, the paper describes the
dichotomies “center – periphery”, “homogeneity – individuality” as well as related trends, i.e. rhetoric of
“growth” of the left bank of Novosibirsk, distribution of networks, the role of shopping centers in public
space, privatization and deindustrialization
