Adaptable Cities and Temporary UrbanismsCities are typically thought of as permanent. Structures, streets, infrastructure, and other features of the built environment, even if they are periodically replaced, are intended to endure. But temporary, flexible spaces and uses are essential to how cities function and the ways urban dwellers inhabit them. Such adaptability, moreover, is fundamental if cities are to meet the challenges of the future. This book examines temporary urbanisms across

Cities are typically thought of as permanent. Structures, streets, infrastructure, and other features of the built environment, even if they are periodically replaced, are intended to endure. But temporary, flexible spaces and uses are essential to how cities function and the ways urban dwellers inhabit them. Such adaptability, moreover, is fundamental if cities are to meet the challenges of the future.

This book examines temporary urbanisms across varied global contexts, considering their significance for cities and everyday life as well as for policy and practice. It brings together many distinct forms and facets of temporariness and adaptability--from sites of consumption by privileged residents to the survival strategies of marginalized groups--drawing on examples spanning five continents. Lauren Andres explores the driving forces of adaptability as well as the power dynamics and tensions between temporariness and permanence. She highlights how adaptability enhances livability, sustainability, and resilience, showing its importance for addressing crises such as climate change, socioeconomic inequalities, and pandemics. Authoritative and wide-ranging, Adaptable Cities and Temporary Urbanisms reveals why experimentation and creativity are crucial to the present and future of cities.

Cut too small - Shrinkage!
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Chill
This Costa Del Mar shirt is cut way too small and then shrinks from there. Could not wear after one wash. I’m 6’4” @ 215 and normally wear XL or sometimes XXL. This XXL was really too small from the jump and then shrunk down so much I can’t even wear it. If you just have to get it, I’d order 2 sizes up. Not the quality I’m accustomed to in Costa products.

Perfect Fit!
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Heather, Size: Medium, Color: Dark Heather
My daughter got the Costa T-shirt for her boyfriend, and he absolutely loves it! The fabric is super soft, lightweight, and breathable—perfect for everyday wear or a day out on the water. The fit is just right, and the design looks even better in person. Great quality and a solid pick for any Costa fan!
