Abstract
Many urban designers, particularly if they are also architects, think of urban design as an art. This is potentially positive in urban quality terms, but current conventional conceptions of art often get in the way of realising this potential in practice. This paper explores why this is so, and argues that re-imagining urban design as a performance art might unlock new sources of creative inspiration. An earlier version of this paper first appeared as Chapter 12 in Urban Transformations: Power, People and Urban Design published by Routledge in 1999, reprinted by kind permission.
