T-Factor Final Event

Temporary uses, urban regeneration, just transitions: now, next, new

Sala Giordano, Palazzo Medici-Riccardi via Cavour 3, Florence. May 7, 2024

After four years of research and practice on temporary uses and their transformative potential in urban regeneration, the T-Factor project comes to an end. 

This closing conference is dedicated to discuss the relevance of temporary uses for just transitions across European cities, exploring what foundational shifts are required for these practices to realise  objectives of climate neutrality, social inclusion, and quality of life.
