Shauna Brail, author of Urban Mobility: How the iPhone, COVID, and Climate Changed Everything :
Lauren Andres establishes a compelling framework for understanding how adaptability and temporariness contribute to urban vibrancy, address crises, and are fundamental to what makes a city a city. A must-read for students, scholars, and policy makers, Adaptable Cities and Temporary Urbanisms suggests that adaptability and temporariness offer pathways to achieving urban equity, creativity, sustainability, and resilience.

Peter Bishop, coeditor of Design for London: Experiments in Urban Thinking:
The city is and will always be an unfinished project. In this book, Lauren Andres makes a major contribution to the theory and application of temporary urbanism by setting it within the context of societal change and the power structures that shape our lives today.
