With a Latourian Actor-Network Theory approach, Urban Design on the Move follows a young design team’s transformative journey of implementing the Europan 4 winning project at Heraklion’s old city waterfront in Crete, Greece.

During the design trajectory, the team mediates several controversies that become decisive for the project’s outcome.

Together with Hercules, a fictional character and friend of the team, they accompany the transformation of the competition’s design strategies into implemented urban practices.

With forewords by Didier Rebois and Albena Yaneva a compelling analysis of urban design in the making written in a unique storytelling format an inspiration for urban designers in uncertain environments
