Flux citiesontological design for a regenerative world /[electronic resource] :by Gregor H. Mews. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - xx, 153 p. :ill. (chiefly col.), digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction, "Navigating the City in Flux" -- Chapter 2: "Cities as events: rich everyday life spatial practices" -- Chapter 3: "Mo(ve)ment: Production of the real in Cities" -- Chapter 4: "The Intangible City: beyond Power, Perception and Place" -- Chapter 5: "Shadow casting and accounts: Urban Form and Subjective Well-being" -- Chapter 6: Conclusion, "Towards a Flux Cities".

"Flux Cities is an erudite text. It evokes the Situationist's 1968 call to act, to demand the impossible!" -Darko Radović, Professor Emeritus, Keio University, Japan, and Professor, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and co-founder, co+re partnership Tokyo.Bangkok.Milano.Ljubljana "A deep care runs through the pages: a care for the city, for thinking the city, but most of all for doing with people in the city. There are no easy solutions, but there is always space to dream and collaborate around the challenges facing urban life." -Nina Fredslund Ottosen, Managing Director, Dreamtown NGO "A compelling meditation that moves beyond the critique, offering pathways for reimagining cities as regenerative and interdependent ecosystems. It is at once poetic and grounded, courageous and necessary. For those of us committed to working across disciplines and cultures, Flux Cities is more than an intellectual contribution, it is an ethical call." -J. Antonio Lara-Herandez, Senior Researcher, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand 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. 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.
