Now is a moment that argues for enterprise at the heart of collective, local urban action. This is not about being soppy or seditious – but simply sensible business practice. But it is about doing, not studying; commissioning action, not a feasibility study; choreography, not simply invention. It involves a degree of serendipity. And in urban development, it issues a fatwa on geographers and sociologists obsessing with dicing people in to creative and non-creative classes.
What should we call it?
It’s not exactly “American Idol” but we could start with “Venture Urbanism” – and find something sexier a bit later.
