All across Europe, and in particularly in urban settings, public places and spaces of belonging as well as public goods have come under pressure. Even though the existence of open and inclusive public spaces has long been recognised as a key factor for promoting the development of more sustainable and resilient urban societies, several developments such as neoliberal policies of privatisation, deregulation and liberalisation and rising xenophobia have hindered the preservation of such spaces. In these times in which inclusive public places and spaces are shrinking, the culture, heritage and arts sector has become central in the creation of spaces in which the general public can channel its dissatisfaction, alternatives can be shown and creativity and free thought be expressed. Several initiatives have been developed with as it main aim to create ‘concrete utopia’s’ –  concrete action towards the anticipation of the not-yet. By developing new forms of governance, places and spaces for alternative engagement are provided safeguarded which allow for the continued existence of marginalized belongings.
