We’ve opened surveys for our Pop-up City Research Initiative.
We’re building a public-good, community-informed research report on pop-up cities, using systematic methods to make cross-case comparisons. Whether you participated in a pop-up city as an attendee, operator, or partner, you can find your role-based survey here: thouartofficial.com/research/popup…
Candidate focal cases include Zuzalu, Edge Esmeralda, Network School v2, Burning Man, and others. Each focal case receives a dedicated case profile, cross-case comparisons, and positioning on the report’s landscape map. The final public good report will feature 8–12 focal cases from an initial candidate pool of 15, which may expand; cases that do not meet minimum data thresholds will be included as comparator references rather than full profiles.

This is independent research. No affiliation or endorsement is implied for any referenced candidate case. Our analysis draws on surveys plus formal interviews to date with 71 stakeholders across 48 pop-up cities and relevant organisations, and this dataset is still growing. We also conduct on-the-ground fieldwork at select pop-up cities, with additional interviews ongoing.
