Meanwhile City: How temporary interventions create welcoming places with a strong identity

by Petra Marko, Radim Lisa

Cities need effective tools to adapt — especially in times of increasing social, economic and environmental uncertainty. Meanwhile projects are an important part of city resilience and when done well, they can enhance a city's ability to accelerate both physical and behavioural changes, course-correct and recover in face of adversity.

Offering 30+ actionable lessons, best practices and inspiration for city leaders, urban practitioners and private developers, Meanwhile City is a 160+ page guide on how to use temporary interventions to shape the identity of places and build active communities around them.

Great read which highlights the importance of considering how city spaces are used at all times. Temporary structures can be transformative in their nature, and this book demonstrates that.
