Times of Scarcity: Reclaiming the possibility of making the city

Selected notes from the Third European Urban Summer School, London, September 2012. The Third European Urban Summer School (EUSS) explored old and new approaches to planning and urban design in times of scarcity. Contributions include essays by established and emerging scholars as well as experienced and young planning and design professionals. The EUSS was hosted by the University of Westminster, School of Architecture and the Built Environment, in collaboration with the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP), the International Federation for Housing and Planning (IFHP), the European Council of Spatial Planners (ECTP-CEU) and the International Society for City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP). The main partner in facilitating the EUSS was the team behind the project Scarcity and Creativity in the Built Environment (SCIBE).
