title: Urban Acupuncture as a strategy for the revitalization of unused and neglected urban public space in Amsterdam
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Due to the neo-liberal market-based paradigm, social media, and dominating car-infrastructure we have seen a deterioration and scarcity of public urban space in the last decades. A concept which is underrepresented in academic literature is Urban Acupuncture. It entails small-scale, strategically placed interventions triggering a synergetic and catalytic effect on its surrounding areas. Through semi-structured interviews and literature review, this research aimed at exploring Urban Acupuncture as a strategy for revitalizing unused and neglected urban space in Amsterdam. Urban Acupuncture as a concept for citizen initiatives has potential, however, as a municipal policy it is not desirable as Amsterdam is better equipped for larger maintenance and overarching plans. Further research on Urban Acupuncture is recommended and the research is reflected upon.
