AHFE Open AccessEmpowering Sustainable Urban Futures: Exploring the Temporary Use of Community In-Between Spaces
Abstract
In the pursuit of sustainable built environments, this paper delves into the innovative realm of Temporary Use (TU) strategies within communities in-between spaces. Urban spaces evolve entities and the efficient utilization of transitional spaces which holds immense potential for fostering community engagement, environmental stewardship, and economic resilience. This paper, using the case study method, aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of TU practices, emphasizing their role in redefining the dynamics of urban living.Under the framework of TU, the research team conducted several on-field projects to explore and test the impact of TU in the KIC community in Shanghai from 2022 to 2023. From these cases, this discourse encompasses diverse perspectives, ranging from different types of TU and discusses their strategies and sustainable impact. By scrutinizing these case studies and ongoing projects, we aim to decipher the strategies that transform leftover or in-between spaces into vibrant community hubs. These spaces present opportunities for fostering social cohesion, promoting sustainable practices, and catalyzing economic development. This paper not only contributes to academic discourse but also provides practical guidance for policymakers and urban planners striving to create resilient, vibrant, and sustainable urban environments.
