Rethinking ethics in city branding: from competition to vulnerability
(2024)- Abstract
- In this chapter we propose a novel ethical approach to city branding based on a relational understanding of vulnerability. We rethink the prevailing ethics of competition and competitiveness in the field by demonstrating its limitations for contributing positively to urban sustainable development. An ethics of vulnerability approach is outlined based on principles of performativity, interdependence, and relationality, and an obligation to care for the vulnerable.
