The streets are becoming ever more regimented as life and character are sapped from our cities. What is to be done? Is it possible to maintain the public realm as a flexible space that adapts over time? Can disorder be designed? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fifty years ago, Richard Sennett wrote his groundbreaking work \u003ci\u003eThe Uses of Disorder\u003c\/i\u003e, arguing that the ideal of a planned and ordered city was flawed, likely to produce a fragile, restrictive urban environment. The need for the Open City, the alternative, is now more urgent that ever. In this provocative essay, Pablo Sendra and Richard Sennett propose a reorganisation of how we think and plan the life of our cities. What the authors call 'infrastructures for disorder' combine architecture, politics, urban planning and activism in order to develop places that nurture rather than stifle, bring together rather than divide, remain open to change rather than rapidly stagnate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eDesigning Disorder\u003c\/i\u003e is a radical and transformative manifesto for the future of twenty-first-century cities.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePablo Sendra\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Planning and Urban Design at the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London.
