Temporary and Tactical Urbanism examines a key set of urban design
strategies that have emerged in the twenty-first century. 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.
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. It critically examines the
material, social, economic and political complexities that surround
and enable these small, ephemeral urban interventions. It
identifies their short-term and long-term implications for urban
intensity, diversity, creativity and adaptability. The book's
insights into temporary and tactical urbanism have particular
relevance in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has
highlighted both the need and the possibility of quickly
transforming urban spaces worldwide. They also reveal significant
lessons for the long-term planning and design of buildings,
landscapes and cities.
