Abstract
In urban environments confronted with unprecedented challenges, where disadvantaged inhabitants increasingly face structural conditions of exclusion, impoverishment and deprivation, fostering social resilience has become a primary objective for policy makers and urban communities. A vast literature (Lara Hernandez & Melis, 2020) shows that temporary appropriation activities in the public space are effective tools to achieve resilience, intended here as the community’s capacity of adapting to changes in times of global crises. Among these activities, Temporary Urban Practices (TUP) can provide a secure, flexible, and experimental space to include citizens in the city-making process while training social capacities that contribute to social resilience. This article offers insights on the outcomes of the Multicultural City ChatterBox, as a paradigmatic example of TUP encouraging social minorities to repurpose an unused urban space, fostering urban resilience through agency, collaboration and co-creative endeavours.
