Temporary local economies as an expression of social change. A synoptic overview

Abstract

This characterises the exciting combination of economic activity and everyday life in an urban and regional context. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of temporary local economies in their academic perspectives and to give insights into urban regional development lines using an exemplary brief case study (Bikini Berlin).
