Abstract

The paper explores the issue of temporary projects on vacant land, focusing on London in the 2007–2012 downturn. Using a case study approach, a link has been identified between the success of temporary projects and a longer-term vision, as well as a move towards better integration between temporary occupants and developer/landowner. Within this paradox the whole idea of temporariness is put under question, as is the traditional mainstream depiction of bottom-up in opposition to top-down action. These trends are contextualized within the dynamics of recession that has triggered new types of creative conversations between parties traditionally considered in opposition, and may contribute to reframing urban development as an incremental, organic and collaborative process.
