Public space is fundamental to democracy. It is a common arena that we all have the right to use. In Urban Creativity, nine European researchers from different disciplines describe how subcultures utilize public space. The essays are about graffiti and street art, the Occupy movement, the umbrella protests in Hong Kong and the Free-party movement. These are examples of interventions in the city that aim to temporarily or permanently change the meaning, function or accessibility of urban public space. The book is the result of an interdisciplinary research collaboration initiated in 2018 at the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies at Lund University on the theme of Urban Creativity. From the content: • Openness and porosity: a socio-spatial analysis of Umbrella Square in Hong Kong. • Vandals in motion: the “where” of graffiti in the streets. • Prolonged graffiti articulation in late 1980s and 1990s Lithuania. • Free parties, sexuality, creativity and drugs: dancing within the urban world. •From writing the streets to Instagram: a history of subcultural graffiti as media.
