Journey

Unlocking transformative meanwhile use in urban regeneration is an orchestration process: an intentional action of providing the means for participatory action and experimentation with preferred futures.

Targeted meanwhile strategies can facilitate design and management; yet, especially when target groups change over time, this may imply the risk of vanishing efforts. A more holistic way of dealing with different target groups can better foster inclusive engagement and participatory placemaking, and deliver on positive outcomes incrementally.
Urban regeneration is increasingly complex, hardly predictable and thus risky.
Meanwhile uses can bring about more flexibility and mitigate on uncertainty, as they can help understand the context of intervention before delivering on permanent uses.
Meanwhile uses can drive the capacity building we need at the time of climate breakdown and deep social change. When designed and approached as public labs of placemaking, they can become powerful levers of individual and community empowerment, resilience and adaptation.
