Towards a new function of art in society. The financial crisis has spawned a raft of new economic models based on cooperative interests and calling for a reconsideration of our value system. Alongside architects, artists have assumed an increasing role in the last fifteen years when it comes to restructuring urban space. In this book, Barbara Holub explores together with international practitioners and theorists from the fields of art, urbanism, philosophy, anthropology and sociology and also politicians and administrative officers the significance of artistic practices in the context of the investoriented (urban) planning and examines what options are offered by the new, transdisciplinary role of the urban practitioner.
