Abstract

This paper discusses the implications of Guattari's concept of metamodeling, used to set up an emergent methods design, in a study on neighborhood images and urban development. Related to a theoretical background coming from Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy, metamodeling is used as a conceptual tool that enables the creation of a flexible and adaptable methods design, which draws on methods that are not completely fixed at the beginning of the research but rather developed in an iterative way. By investigating the questions of how neighborhood images emerge and how they perform citizens’ everyday lives, we developed a methodological dispositive composed of four methods—one based on the use of photography, a second based on drawings, a third based on qualitative geographic information system (GIS), and a fourth that is a quantitative survey—that revealed multiple facets of neighborhood images.
