In many cities, urban wastelands and vacant structures suddenly metamorphose into exuberant places. After the real estate market failed in their initial attempts to develop these, the sites instead became the setting for art galleries, migrant economies, informal markets and nightlife outlets. It is often these abandoned locations that can boast innovative cultural expression and a vibrant public sphere. Over the course of several years, the Urban Catalyst research team explored these temporary uses in European cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, London and Rome. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Urban Catalyst: The Power of Temporary Use (Philipp Oswalt, Klaus Overmeyer, Philipp Misselwitz)
