Focusing on the design and significance of memorials across various countries and historical contexts, this book examines how both formal and informal commemorative sites foster diverse physical, cognitive, and emotional connections with visitors. By analyzing different examples, it highlights the complex relationships that emerge between these spaces and those who engage with them.

This book examines a key set of urban design strategies that have emerged in the twenty-first century. Such projects range from guerrilla gardens and bike lanes to more formalized temporary beaches and swimming pools, parklets, pop- up plazas and buildings, and container towns.
