From street-markets and pop-up shops to art installations and
Olympic parks, the temporary use of urban space is a growing
international trend in architecture and urban design. Partly a
response to economic and ecological crisis, it also claims to offer
a critique of the status quo and an innovative way forward for the
urban future. Cities in Time aims to explore and understand the
phenomenon, offering a first critical and theoretical evaluation of
temporary urbanism and its implications for the present and future
of our cities. The book argues that temporary urbanism needs to be
understood within the broader context of how different concepts of
time are embedded in the city. In any urban place, multiple,
discordant and diverse timeframes are at play - and the chapters
here explore these different conceptions of temporality, their
causes and their effects. Themes explored include how
institutionalised time regulates everyday urban life, how
technological and economic changes have accelerated the city's
rhythms, our existential and personal senses of time, concepts of
memory and identity, virtual spaces, ephemerality and permanence.
