Urban bricolage: reinventing our cities

Thu, Feb. 07 2013 - 11:30
Room 6 (level 3)

Guerrilla gardening, creative uses of the streets, pop-up flea markets, repurposing of street furniture,  small fixes or major hackings of public space,… Ordinary people are taking action to reshape urban space and inventing a new form of civic participation. The workshop will focus on what we’ll call “urban bricolage” by building a typology of those interventions, defining how cities can support and benefit from them, and proposing likely scenarios based on opportunities, shortcomings and drawbacks.
