Meanwhile City: How Temporary Interventions Create Welcoming Places with a Strong Identity

By Milk

On Loan

Cities need effective tools to adapt — especially in these times of increasing social, economic and environmental uncertainty. Temporary interventions, also known as meanwhile projects, are an important tool for the resilience of cities. When done well, they can enhance a city’s ability to course-correct, recover in the face of adversity, and encourage physical and behavioural changes.

This publication of actionable lessons, best practices and inspiration was put together by a team of designers, researchers and editors led by the architect Petra Marko at Milk.

City leaders, urban practitioners and private developers can harness the power of meanwhile to communicate with the public, shape the identity of places and build active communities around them.

Highly recommend this if your work involves engaging with and supporting local communities or if you simply enjoy visiting and creating vibrant spaces. After all, life is not only shaped by our individual experiences but by the shared journeys we embark on within the communities we are part of.
