URBAN DESIGN ON THE MOVE - SOCRATES STRATIS KAR...

With a Latourian Actor-Network Theory approach  Urban Design on the Move follows a young design
team's transformative journey of implementing the Europan 4 winning project at Heraklion's old

controversies that become decisive for the project's outcome. Together with Hercules  a
fictional character and friend of the team  they accompany the transformation of the
competition's design strategies into implemented urban practices. In a unique storytelling
format  the author unpacks the team's design diplomacy skills in promoting their idea of an
open and porous city welcoming heterogeneous publics-laying bare the informal and unsaid
aspects of the design implementation process. With forewords by Didier Rebois and Albena Yaneva
a compelling analysis of urban design in the making written in a unique storytelling format an
inspiration for urban designers in uncertain environments
