Now Urbanism recognizes the rich complexities of the present city not as barriers or obstacles but as grounds for uncovering opportunity and unleashing potential. It views city making as grounded in the imperfect, messy, yet rich reality of the present city and the everyday purposeful agency of its dwellers.

It was a WOW Urbanism-night with Jeff Hou's Lecture NOW URBANISM on the 2nd day of urbanize! Festival 2013. Inspiring examples from all over the world, showing that people are definitely experts of their everyday life. Which was also shown straight afterwards at the exhibition opening of PARK! PLATZ! PLAY! with a lot of fine examples of everyday interventions that can chance the way we look at cities. Thanx to everybody for a brilliant night of city-thinking!
