This Blog And Pop-Up City

This blog is about everything related to the flexible city: dynamic and temporary architecture, urbanism, landscaping and planning. The Pop-up City Blog is part of the Pop-up City Laboratory in Amsterdam. At this blog we collect all kind of projects, designs and stories which deal with the concept of the so called ‘pop-up city’.

The main focus of the Pop-up City Lab is to rethink urbanism in the context of the rapidly changing world by developing spatial strategies, methods and concepts for flexible urbanism and architecture. By using the term ‘pop-up city’ we try to capture the ability of urban structures to pop-up suddenly, but also to easily disappear, move or change at moments the context changes.
