TY - CHAP A1 - Gribat, Nina A1 - Misselwitz, Philipp ED - Orum, Anthony M. T1 - Temporary Uses of Spaces T2 - The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Urban and Regional Studies N2 - This entry deals with the issue of temporary uses of spaces as a particular form of urban development based on use agreements that allow for the use of vacant land or buildings for a nominal – or no – rent. Such forms of land use have been developed in many European cities that underwent periods of urban restructuring or shrinkage. The entry distinguishes temporary use from squatting and examines the ways in which temporary use has become a particular planning strategy. In addition, the entry provides an overview of affirmative and critical academic discourses around temporary use.
