Increasingly often, new protagonists from the arts and culture are becoming involved in processes of urban development, participating in unconventional ways in the design of urban spaces. This is no coincidence, because many of the urban development challenges of today require abilities that go beyond traditional planning tools. What is the relationship between urban planning, artistic practices, and cultural institutions: do they merely complement each other, or do they mutually amplify each other? This volume gathers perspectives from different disciplines that understand changing urban practices, as well as constantly changing hierarchies and power relationships, as an opportunity to think differently about places, institutions, and those involved, and about forms of organization and action. With contributions from Hilke Marit Berger, Marta Doehler-Behzadi, Christoph Grafe, Saskia Hebert, Hanna Hinrichs, Kay von Keitz, Thomas Malorny, Tobi Muller, Berthold Schneider, Birgit Schneider-Boenninger, Uwe Schneidewind, Renee Tribble, and Stephan Willinger among others
