Based on 5 years of insights from blogging, The Pop-Up City blog presents this book on creative ideas for cities in a fluid world. The authors Jeroen Beekmans and Joop de Boer are the brains and hearts of The Pop-Up City , an Amsterdam-based blog that showcases eye-opening ideas, concepts and trends that make a change in the city of today and tomorrow.

On a daily basis, the authors have written stories about individuals, enterprises, and cities all around the world that come up with refreshing ideas and solutions to deal with a permanent stage of change, ranging from urban hacks, modular hotels, and parasite cinemas to pop-up retail concepts, rooftop farms, and houses on wheels. In the past five years, popupcity.net has grown from a small blog into an international online platform for forward-thinking city-making with a monthly readership of over 100,000.

It has always been the dream of the authors to turn the rich online content of their blog into a beautiful, inspiring book that tells a remarkable story of cities and urban design in a fluid world. Pop-Up City - City-making in a fluid world will be a richly illustrated, 260-page publication which not only tells a story of (making) cities, design and culture in a world of permanent change, but also inspires the reader with a selection of 150 of the most remarkable urban trends, concepts and ideas harvested from the extensive and ever-growing series of over 1,600 (!) articles that have been published on the blog in the past five years.
