What are 'Urban Islands'?

Shifting economies leave post industrial cities with iconic and dormant sites that are both physically and culturally vacant. These urban islands present new challenges and opportunities for the cities they inhabit.

Cross disciplinary creativity, experimental tactics and broad based participation are needed to inject these places with renewed life.

The Urban Islands project seeks strategies of engagement that respond to the unique qualities of each site whilst imbuing them with the ideas and desires of the city.
