The Hinge: Civil Society, Group Cultures, and the Power of Local Commitments

compelling argument that temporary urbanism as a practice and object of knowledge and research is here to stay is carefully crafted throughout. When one reads about practices, moments, or discussions one has followed or been part of, one can appreciate how Ferreri clearly captures the complexities embedded in the ruminations of temporary urban practices. Temporary urbanism is not a binary process; it is filled with tensions and contradictions and invites a process of self-reflection for practitioners and also for those living through processes of intense regeneration and gentrification. I cannot do justice to the multiple levels of analysis or the complex power relations at play in the entangled and often contradictory voices captured in such a balanced way by Ferreri; to get a sense of this, you must read this book.
