This book raises a discussion in regard to architecture's role as a catalyst for urban development. Through studies of eight architectural projects in large cities on four different continents, the focus is placed on how architecture can promote the enriching experiences of the tolerant, the democratic, the learning and the experience rich city. In other words: The city worth living in, worth supporting and worth investing in. The projects operate with a mix of design programs, organised so that they invite diverse user groups to a variety of activities. Visual and other sensuous architectural effects frame the interaction between the projects and the human activities within their urban context -- an interaction that indicates a direction for a new narrative about the potential of place. The book is written for everybody with an interest in architecture and urban life in large cities and is a must-read for students of architecture, urban design, town planning, urban geography, urban sociology and aesthetic studies.

This is a story about Roskilde Festival, the largest temporary city in Denmark. The book presents the concept of the festival and its basic values. Based on observations and analyses, the city plan, city spaces and architecture are presented including the interaction of the urban scenography with city life. The analyses are supplemented by 12 narratives, in which the participants tell us about their everyday life, the parties, the festival culture and their experiences with music, architecture and art. They present their territories and their places of meaning. In the theoretical and concluding parts, the focal points of the book are the potential of the temporary experience city to experiment with an open minded and socially inclusive urban life carried by carnival laughter, performative architecture and grotesque realism. The book points to a number of opportunities for a further development, and processing of the temporary city, which may also serve as a source of inspiration for those who are working with urban design, experience design and performative architecture. This is the second book from Aalborg University's research project "Experience City -- hybrid cultural projects and performative urban spaces". The 2009 publication EXPERIENCE CITY.DK focused on how hybrid cultural projects can provide leverage for a dynamic urban development and how they may affect the social life in the city.
