Urban strategies and the way cities are planned have changed throughout history, adapting to the needs of the inhabitants, infrastructure requirements, and advances in technology. Uses and customs of people and cities are changing and can evolve much faster than in the past, with the result that urban planning is often too slow to adequately meet the current needs of society. In this context, the development of pop-up environments for temporary developments could be a solution to meet the needs of flexibility, adaptation, and resilience of a city. Based on an extensive evaluation of the existing literature and a series of case studies, the paper analyses the key elements that define the framework conditions of urban planning strategies for temporary developments that generate a positive impact on the overall urban system.
