When designing, planning and building urban spaces, many
contradictory and conflicting actors, practices and agendas
coexist. This book propounds that, at present, this process is
conducted in an artificial reality, 'Concept City', characterized
by a simplified and outdated conception of space. It provides a
constructive critique of the concepts, underlying the practices of
planning and architecture and, in order to facilitate more dynamic,
inclusive and subtle practices, it formulates a new theory about
space in general and public urban space in particular. The central
notions in this theory are temporality, experiment and conflict,
which are grounded on empirical observations in Helsinki,
Manchester and Berlin. While the book contextualizes Lefebvre's
ideas on urban planning and architecture, it is in no way limited
to Lefebvrean discourse, but allows insights to new theoretical
work, including that of Finnish and Swedish authors. In doing so,
it suggests and develops exciting new approaches and tools leading
to 'experiential urbanism'.
