Temporality has its virtues, especially in cities
Sometimes, less is more – even when it comes to urban development. In Meanwhile City 30 international case studies will illustrate how temporary reuse can spark transformation in our urban landscapes.
These are straightforward, environmentally considerate strategies aimed at infusing identity into places still on their journey to find their ultimate purpose. This is a recurring theme for Utopian Hours, having repeatedly assembled city influencers and urban pioneers from around the globe to lend their insights.
This year, we’re thrilled to host Petra Marko on our stage. As part of Milk – an innovative collective from Bratislava specializing in urban storytelling – she has crafted an informative guide showcasing 30 real-world examples from various global cities, each illustrating a fresh approach to urban development. This invaluable resource is designed for city administrators, urban practitioners, and real estate developers, providing guidance on how to implement temporary interventions to reinvigorate city spaces for the benefit of their communities.
