Although public spaces in the former East Germany were elaborately refurbished after reunification, many small towns and villages continue to suffer from population exodus and high vacancy rates. One of those towns is Tribsees in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where 70 of the 240 houses in the downtown area are currently unoccupied. In 2020, a team of artists and students led by Ton Matton engaged with a number of these buildings, sounding out possibilities and concepts for the future of the town in collaboration with residents. This resulted in new narratives of co-existence - involving large amounts of improvisation and not always in adherence to the letter of the law - based on individual responsibility, self-sufficiency, and local production. Slow Urban Planning does more than document this project and its artistic interventions, some of which were implemented in the context of the Tribsees Centenniale. It also illuminates how urban planning processes tend to proceed in general, and how regulatory structures can be adapted in order to better integrate performative processes.

What we have here is a hybrid of philosophy and urbanism, asking questions about autonomy and freedom in the modern world. Ever since Kant, the question of autonomy -- the ability of the individual to act on his own -- is one of utmost importance to democracy. Yet in today's consumer culture, we are dependent on the urban infrastructure and supply chain, which makes true autonomy difficult. The authors consider what Beuys meant when he said that everyone is an artist: that everyone is trying to live in tune with our social space. Which brings us to the tuneful cooperation of jazz improvisation, where one finds harmony within disorder. Authors Ton Matton, an urbanist, and Christopher Dell, a philosopher and jazz musician, join minds to create this thought-provoking book.

With contemporary, semi-self-sufficient designs Ton Matton and Wim Timmermans take open action against ecological absurdities of worn present day housing estates. In cooperation with various guests and partners on distinct levels, they develop projects that vary from pragmatic urbanism to utopian furniture design, from a climate machine to social interaction in the suburbs. Mental models and wild tinkering follow small utopias and everyday obstacles and, just because they are aware of the contradictions that cannot be avoided, they keep turning out.Ton Matton describes his practice as situated 'somewhere between object-design, society-shape, ecological city planning and artist-activism' exploring 'the small Utopias and interruptions of daily life' and 'connections between traditional countryside living and contemporary mega-city lifestyle. 'Surviving the Suburb' presents an overview of the projects that have been realized with (alleged) kindred souls. In varying working relations and unorthodox ways, they confront the suburban space with ecological en social challenges.
