“…Similarly, in a review of the book Tactical Urbanism by Lydon and Garcia (2015), Campo (2016, p. 389) concludes that tactical urbanism is "a counter-urbanism well-positioned for the neoliberal world and can be incorporated into larger and more traditional planning initiatives." Vallance et al (2017) further argue that in its goal to improve formal plans, policies and procedures, the 'insurgent' or 'revolutionary' potential of tactical urbanism has become limited.…”

Unsanctioned, unscripted, and seemingly "undesirable" activities have long appropriated urban spaces in routine and sometimes unexpected ways, bringing new meanings and unforeseen functions to those places. In the last decade or so, such practices have inspired a growing movement under the banner of DIY and tactical urbanisms. The growing acceptance of these practices creates important openings in the formalized planning systems for greater flexibility and expedient change. Yet, the institutionalization of previously informal and even subversive acts has resulted in concerns regarding co-optation and de-politicization. This special issue seeks to pivot a refocus towards these unsanctioned and unscripted urban activities as a form of counter-hegemonic spatial practices, distinct from its professionalized and institutionalized counterpart. A range of cases is examined here sharing similar characteristics as challenges against the prevailing social and political paradigm. Key findings include the scalability of guerrilla actions, the fluid shift between overt and covert actions, and the linkage between everyday struggles and organized resistance. This special issue is intended to advance our understanding of urban design by situating it in a broader social, economic, and political praxis that encompasses both formal and informal practices performed by a wide variety of individual and collective actors.Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.

“…porárias de outras ações de urbanismo DIY 1 interinas, cuja ambição pode ser a permanência pelo maior tempo possível (Vallance et al, 2017), é justamente a sua intenção de impermanência, o que as aproxima do contexto contemporâneo discutido anteriormente. Segundo a classificação de Sansão-Fontes (2013), intervenções temporárias podem assumir diferentes tipologias, sejam elas apropriações espontâneas do espaço público, intervenções de ar te pública, instalações arquitetônicas, festas locais ou ainda ações táticas (LabIT, 2015).…”

“…If the keywords of the "pop-up" group led to few results, more results were found using the keyword "temporary" (used in double resulting combination first with words such as "strategies," "housing," "architecture," "uses," "structures," and "urban planning"). The results can be grouped in the following categories: temporary housing, in the context of emergency or to respond to new demands [47,48,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69]; temporary uses and strategies in the city [5,[7][8][9]11,24,47,[70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78]; life-cycle and reuse of temporary structures [13,[55][56][57][58]64,[79][80][81]. Being conceived of as "temporary," pop-up environments are characterized by two fundamental properties-they have an expiration date that refers to their period of use, intermediate between the previous one that was interrupted and the next one that has not yet be...…”

“…New methods and tools are needed for sustainable urban development strategies, and the present paper proposes the use of pop-up environments and temporary strategies, understood as something that is deliberately programmed not to be permanent and that tends to have a deconstruction or exit strategy in place, as one of the potential solutions [70]. How, then, should pop-up environments be realized, and what are the requirements that their design should be based on?…”

Urban strategies and the way cities are planned have changed throughout history, adapting to the needs of the inhabitants, infrastructure requirements, and advances in technology. Uses and customs of people and cities are changing and can evolve much faster than in the past, with the result that urban planning is often too slow to adequately meet the current needs of society. In this context, the development of pop-up environments for temporary developments could be a solution to meet the needs of flexibility, adaptation, and resilience of a city. This allows the urban planner to consider systems from a short-term perspective, fulfilling current needs without compromising the development of potentially different activities in the future. The purpose of this research work is to outline the general requirements of pop-up environments in urban developments that allow for adequate integration into urban planning strategies. Based on an extensive evaluation of the existing literature and a series of case studies, the paper analyzes the key elements that define the framework conditions of urban planning strategies for temporary developments that generate a positive impact on the overall urban system.
