Abstract
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 authors draw on their backgrounds in different fields, including Sociology, Economy, Law, Art History & Visual Studies, and Urban Studies, to investigate unauthorized phenomena like graffiti and street art, the umbrella protests in Hong Kong, the Occupy movement and the free party 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 partly a result of the work done in the interdisciplinary Urban Creativity IAS Theme at The Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies at Lund University (2018-2019).
