The fluid city is one of the recent conceptualizations used to identify the processes cross-ing the contemporary city. Its innovative spatial and structural characteristics contrast with a formal idea of a city, built and organized according to rules, principles and univocal determina-tions. The transposition of the fluidity concept in urban planning allows us to observe how dynamism, temporariness, flexibility are increasingly adopted as categories for re-functionalization, re-signification of spaces, creation of places and dissemination of new prac-tices. The contribution suggests reflections on a multidisciplinary, multidimensional and inter-scaling approach to urban planning that can manage fluidity and urban complexity. It focuses on the potential of temporary uses fostering an emergency and on their possibility to promote social reinvention of public spaces.
Keywords: fluidity, adaptability, flexibility, transformability, complexity, temporary uses
