Urban Creativity: Essays on interventions in public space

Public space is fundamental to  democracy. It is a common arena  that we all have the right to use. In Urban Creativity, nine European researchers from different disciplines describe how  subcultures utilize public space. The essays are about graffiti and street art, the Occupy  movement, the umbrella protests  in Hong Kong and the Freeparty movement. These are  examples of interventions in the  city that aim to temporarily or  permanently change the meaning,  function or accessibility of urban  public space.

The book is the result of an  interdisciplinary research  collaboration initiated in 2018  at the Pufendorf Institute for  Advanced Studies at Lund  University on the theme of Urban Creativity.
