    Summary note
    "Urban Change investigates the massive change processes within urban space in a world of rapidly progressing urbanization. In the face of the complexity of this transfromation, internationally renowned experts analyze these changes from different perspectives. Scientific results from change theory research are interlinked with practices of inclusive space production, as are artistic practices in the public realm with new urban design approaches. The book describes transformation processes that are driven by artistic interventions and the desire for social inclusion, and discusses new models of urbanization that make reference to informal citiesm refugee camps, and ephemeral urbanism."--back cover.
