The Civic Crowdfunding City / Pop-Up City
The POP-UP CITY consists of all (temporary) projects that focus on creating bottom-up, qualitative and citizen-run urban places. While the project themselves are rather short-term, their impact is still tangible on the longrun.
During this seminar platforms, academia, experts and the audience explore how urban civic crowdfunding can be applied for urban placemaking.
Main research question;
> Which kind of urban spaces are created through civic crowdfunding and what are the characteristics?
Opening keynote from Hanne Van Reusel (KULeuven): “In line with my research at the KU Leuven and starting from my personal ambitions I take part in various collectives that aim to change how we construct our city. Within the Commons Josaphat collective I joined an ongoing reflection on how a new neighbourhood in Brussels could be developed if we would follow the principles of the commons. There are plenty of interesting self-organised alternatives happening, so what if we would combine all these community-oriented initiatives and bring them together?”.
