Urban Miscellanea was initiated by the 2020/21 cohort of MSc Urban Studies students where, in the context of distance learning, chances were restricted for both academic and creative in-between engagement with the urban.
Urban Miscellanea emerged from this as a student-led anthology project, creating works which explore urban life through the lens of an annual theme. This year, a pair of themes were chosen: emergency urbanism and urban rhythms.
In part inspired by the Urban Lab’s 2020-22 theme of emergency, we selected these two complementary themes to encourage engagement with not only these themes in their own rights but to examine the ways in which emergencies permeate urban life and can both disrupt and create new rhythms.
The creative works in this collection explore the sensory experiences of the city, the urban rhythms constructed in COVID-19 lockdowns, everyday encounters with emergency in the built environment, the climate crisis, and the potential that exists within all crises for solidarity and the construction of new, sustainable urban rhythms.
