Introduction: Temporary Uses as Alternative Practices
There has been a dramatic increase in vacant and derelict land and buildings, particularly in post‐industrial cities. In parallel, the scale and variety of temporary – or meanwhile or interim – urban uses have grown rapidly. Extant research has provided much up‐to‐date, detailed information about temporary uses, processes and actors, and about interim spaces as sites of urban experimentation. However, rigorous, theoretically informed, critical analysis and appraisal of such uses and spaces have been limited and have tended to view alternative approaches more favourably than mainstream approaches. Consequently, insufficient attention has been given to the relations between transience and permanence, the impact that temporary uses may have on existing modes of production and regulation, and how such uses may best contribute to urban change. The book draws on international experience to address these issues from the perspectives of the law, sociology, human geography, urban studies, planning and real estate.
