Elma van Boxel’s and Kristian Koreman’s firm ZUS proposes a radically new way of making a city: permanent temporality. This strategy is based on an urban reality of values, material and people; a philosophy that is attached to the past and orientated towards the future. City of Permanent Temporality is a manual for urban design that links temporary interventions to long-term thinking.

Taking as its examples the internationally famous Luchtsingel and Schieblock projects this inspiring book describes the impressive process of 15 years of work on the test site that is Rotterdam.
