Temporary and Tactical Urbanism examines a key set of urban design strategies that have emerged in the twenty-first century. This book takes a thematic approach to explore what the scope of this practice is, and understand why it has risen to prominence, how it works, who is involved, and what its implications are for the future of city design and planning. Such projects range from guerrilla gardens and bike lanes to more formalised temporary beaches and swimming pools, parklets, pop-up plazas and buildings and container towns.These practices enable diverse forms of economic, social and artistic life that are usually repressed by the fixities of urban form and its management.
It identifies their short-term and long-term It critically examines the material, social, economic and political complexities that surround and enable these small, ephemeral urban interventions.
