This collection of essays investigates the future of local citizen's initiatives, from the use of vacant buildings to city-farming on local wastelands, to small-scale area development.
As most local citizen’s initiatives started on temporary basis, they lack an idea of how to make these projects sustainable. Nevertheless, citizens as well as professionals increasingly discover the values of these initiatives. Bringing together different ideas about local urban development, this book aims to formulate a new relationship between bottom-up movements and top-down planning.
