Nordic perspectives on temporary urbanism

Seminar
Afholdt: Fredag 11. januar 2019, København

Temporary urbanism is a rapidly growing phenomenon in urban landscapes of the Western world. There has been a growing interest in understanding the socio-economic processes of temporary urbanism and in how micro-spatial temporary urban practices are contributing towards urban regeneration, economic attraction, and the reshaping of urban places and urban life. In this seminar, we discussed how the increasing focus on temporary urban activities – both strategic and unplanned – create new urban processes and influence urban life in Nordic cities.
