This provocative and problematic statement will be the starting point for this second workshop on urban space in post-Fukuhima Japan. The relation between homelessness, transitoriness and urban dwelling was central to Kon Wajirō's work on modern urban dwelling after 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake and still raises crucial questions for thinking the urban planetary. There remains in particular a crucial link to draw between the definition of urban dwelling places in terms of transitoriness and the contemporary banalization of temporary architectures of survival on a global scale, at a time when tens of thousands of Japanese evacuees still live in so-called temporary housing facilities.</font></span></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 22px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Candara; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; font-size: 13px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">English and Japanese⎜Free Admission ⎜No Registration Required</font></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Candara; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; font-size: 13px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><i>Organized by Christophe Thouny</i> <i>email: <a href="mailto:ct843@nyu.edu">ct843@nyu.edu</a></i></font></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; ">The workshop is open to the public.
