TRANSITIONAL, TEMPORARY AND TACTICAL APPROACHES IN THE CITY
TRANSITIONAL, TEMPORARY AND TACTICAL APPROACHES IN THE CITY
Prague 24th October 2025
Thanks to IPR and Public Spacelab for the invitation to the international conference and for sharing questions, urgent issues, and tools for addressing the transformations of our cities.
Temporary and transitory uses, tactical urban planning projects that accompany and anticipate long-term transformations, temporary uses that test new imaginaries, and populations and stakeholders who can care for and re-signify abandoned places… places that always remain oases where collective dreams can be experimented.
No to speculative temporary uses, but rather an ethic of temporary uses that support and give space to populations (a gray area) of students, new startups, artists, NGO’s, associations, and the third sector capable of restoring new life cycles and contributing to the social capital of our cities.
It was also wonderful to meet new entities such as:
KristinaUllmannova and Vojtech Luxemburk, IPR Prague
EmilyBerwyn, dir. Meanwhile Space , Hastings Commons
Miklos Tomor, Valyo Klobu, Budapest
Sandra Stasselova , MIB-Metropolitan Institute Bratislavy
And a special thanks to Jan Trejbal , Zuzana Stejskalova and Tereza Novakova (and Jita Toms) of #publicspacelab for the great energy with wich they promote temporary uses in the Czech Republic.
I recommend visiting the magnificent IPR Prague, the Institute of Planning and Development, the Prague’s main policy-making unit for architecture, planning development, design and administration.
(Especially if you like brutalist architecture;-)
