Abstract

[Temporary urbanism (TU) remains an emerging phenomenon in the field of urban planning. Referred to by a myriad of terms including ‘DIY’, ‘tactical’ and ‘guerrilla’, it is characterised as low cost, participatory and innovative. Its arbitrariness and limited infrastructure are a contradiction to what traditional planning practice would consider permanent land use. Nevertheless, TU is increasingly used across the world as a method of dealing with urban change. Through a comparative case study approach this chapter researches TU and its relationship with urban planning under diverse urban conditions: in London (United Kingdom) and Santiago (Chile). It examines the emergence of TU and assesses the impacts and prospects of temporary uses in relation to formal planning processes. It is found that TU in both developed and developing contexts is a valuable complementary practice to spatial planning for finding opportunities in complex and evolving urban conditions. The chapter concludes by making recommendations for planning practice and identifies areas for further research.]
