Meanwhile City Launch

Meanwhile City Launch

Join us for a series of presentations and an expert panel discussion to mark the launch of Meanwhile City: How temporary interventions create welcoming places with a strong identity, a new publication by Milk exploring the value and best practices in temporary interventions. Cities need effective tools to adapt — especially in these times of increasing social, economic and environmental uncertainty. Temporary interventions can enhance a city's ability to course-correct, recover in the face of adversity, and encourage physical and behavioural changes. Our panellists will present their approach to meanwhile activation, from large-scale masterplanning project at King’s Cross London, through to acupunctural meanwhile transformations, participatory placemaking and city-led programmes. Speakers: - Carl Turner, Founding Director, Turner Works, an award-winning London-based architecture practice with expertise in meanwhile projects. - Nick Searl, joint Managing Partner, Argent, the developer behind King’s Cross masterplan in London recognised for its people-centered approach. - Petra Marko, architect and urbanist; Placemaking Director at Milk and co-author of Meanwhile City. - Milk Places is an interdisciplinary team of designers building identities for cities, districts and places through research, narratives, visual storytelling and public space activation. - Šimon Jiráček, architect, urban planner at IPR Prague, author of the Smetana embankment revitalisation-
