Abstract

[Urban transformations often start in small spaces, where ordinary people conduct their daily activities and act based on their values, traditions, and needs. They might experiment with new ideas and strategies driven by changing circumstances, official neglect, or dire necessities. In seemingly random activities of trial and error, urbanites create, test, and rework practices and use spaces to insert their needs, demands, and voices into cityscapes. By seeding change in small spaces, ordinary urbanites seek to create more livable and just cities. This Introduction engages concepts and debates that frame this volume and larger debates about seeding change, small spaces, creative practices and spaces, and emergent and insurgent spaces. It sets the stage for chapters that explore contexts across the globe where urbanites negotiate, make, and remake urban spaces; create opportunities; envision and produce social change; challenge urban life, culture, and politics; or ask for their right to the city.]
