The one-week curious 'hood: creative inhabitation as a mode of urban revitalization

Published: 26 October 2009 Publication History

Abstract

This paper explores the methods, observations and outcomes of one-week intensive site-specific workshops as a means of urban revitalization. Intensive interaction with local communities facing issues of urban decline, commercial redevelopment or demographic polarities is the basis for the exploration and development of a series of operative modalities of creative inhabitation. The paper poses that through these modalities the intensification of the creative use and production of urban space can instigate a shift towards revitalization.
