Book excerpt: Based on empirical observations in Helsinki, Manchester and Berlin, this is a ground-breaking constructive critique of the concepts, underlying the practices of planning and architecture. With central notions of temporality, experiment and conflict, this book contextualizes Lefebvre's ideas on urban planning and architecture, but also allows insights to new theoretical work, including that of Finnish and Swedish authors. In doing so, it suggests and develops exciting new approaches and tools leading to 'experiential urbanism'.
