Governance of temporary use

Abstract

Temporary urbanism has recently gained great scholarly attention and has made its way into planning practice within the last couple of years. This paper analyses interim use as a form of temporary urbanism and discusses the governance structures of this practice in the cities of Vienna and Leipzig. It addresses actor involvement, forms of relations as well as means and motivations of different stakeholders. Additionally, the recent dynamic around temporality as urban strategy is being explored through document analysis. The paper argues that historic events are crucial for establishing collaborative governance structures and shows how overregulation and intense administration can lead to an instrumentalisation of bottom-up, creative and informal actions. Also the recent interest of private developers in informal temporary projects is addressed and critically reflected. The paper concludes with policy recommendations concerning urban informalities and their integration into urban development processes.
