Pop-up Performance Spaces: Big Impact Low Cost

Why pop-up?

The lack of resources is no longer an excuse not to act. The idea that action should only be taken after all the answers have been found is a sure recipe for paralysis. The planning of a city is a process that allows or corrections; it is supremely arrogant to believe that planning can be done only after every possible variable has been controlled.

-Jamie Lerner Architect, urbanist, former mayor of Curitiba Brazil
