Ephemeral Urbanism: Urban Activities and Transformations PublicSpace: Spaces for Everyone
Against the backdrop of Barcelona’s past and present, this essay sets out to champion an everyday town planning that takes advantage of the selforganisational capacity of public space—the street. It understands ephemeral urbanism as a tool for learning from the urban context and the human actions that take place within it, as a way of designing that starts from the citizens’ needs (those that have been faced and those that are still to be met), and from the desires that emerge in the use of public space. The term ephemeral urbanisms, an ubiquitous term in recent academic discourses in Barcelona used by authors such as Josep Bohigas, is endorsed as a reversible urban tool for participation in the design of the city.

Abstract
Against the backdrop of Barcelona’s past and present, this essay sets out to champion an everyday town planning that takes advantage of the selforganisational capacity of public space—the street. It understands ephemeral urbanism as a tool for learning from the urban context and the human actions that take place within it, as a way of designing that starts from the citizens’ needs (those that have been faced and those that are still to be met), and from the desires that emerge in the use of public space. The term ephemeral urbanisms, an ubiquitous term in recent academic discourses in Barcelona used by authors such as Josep Bohigas, is endorsed as a reversible urban tool for participation in the design of the city.
