All are warmly welcome to a special edition in our Brown Bag Seminar series: a book talk on "Flux Cities: Ontological Design for a Regenerative World" featuring author Gregor Mews.
About Flux Cities (from Springer): As our larger life-giving systems that sustain livelihoods continue to erode at an unprecedented rate, and urban complexities continue to increase, this book presents a refreshingly unconventional, creative, and radical meditation on urbanism and city living. Greg Mews proposes the idea of ‘Flux Cities’ and offers provocative new ways to inquire into non-linear relations to the city, through questions such as: How can we design from the heart? How to approach the real city and produce for (co)existence? How to navigate the intangible city? How to improve well-being through Flux Cities?
Full of agency, Mews presents deep and personal insights on informal settlements, public space, and the role of Do-It-Yourself Urbanism in enabling spatial justice and regenerative practices towards well-being. A compelling read for anyone willing to shake up the normative existential foundations of cities.
About the author: Gregor H. Mews (PhD) is an environmental designer and urban planner based at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia. He is also the author of the multi-award-winning book Transforming Public Space through Play (2022) and an international champion for public space and urban health.
