Where contemporary culture has increasingly become nomadic, place has become transitive. This condition stands in contradiction to the time-honored notion of the city as a sedentary entity.
Whether brought about by natural catastrophe or initiated by choice, instant cities emerge, only to disappear again just as rapidly. This has given rise to non-paradigmatic terminologies such as relief urbanism, deadline urbanism, or event urbanism.
Among other factors, speed and agility in decision-making places a new performative demand on the collective. Such a shift from notions of fixed locality to temporary accommodation for mass migration requires equivalent forms of flexibility in planning.
