Meanwhile and Pop-Up spaces and events have become a familiar part of the regeneration scene, turning the many empty buildings, shops and building sites that have been created by the current economic climate into temporary galleries, shops, studio spaces and gardens. Further, economic, political and environmental changes are creating a situation where short term interventions are needed to supplement or replace permanent support mechanisms which may be no longer viable in a future of austerity. This project explores how to make these briefer interventions successful with the aim of understanding how the concept of 'meanwhile' can be more broadly used by community organisations to release social value from vacant spaces. In so doing, it works to promote a culture of resilience and interdependence.The research team starts from the premise that short-term interventions are sometimes perceived by third sector and grass-roots bodies as being of less value because they are not sustained over a long period. We argue that significant benefits can be gained from these interventions in terms of building social capital, enhancing self-efficacy and contributing to community cohesion. A series of short-term interventions puts change at the heart of the community rather than focused in the space being used. Through design research, the project will use these insights and draw on performance theory to generate ideas for and experiment with a model of a 'meanwhile' community intervention as a site-specific, temporary, performance. It will re-focus community ideas to consider space as a resource, not a base, and it will look at how new social media tools can help reach and engage a mobile and flexible population in responsive and robust community organising. The project will learn from existing 'pop-up' projects and facilities, the practices of successful meanwhile entrepreneurs and the needs of a variety of community groups. It will create an exemplar meanwhile activity as part of reporting on its findings. And in this way it uses performance theory to understand meanwhile uses as performative events, examining how to attract clients/users for short-term and ephemeral interventions as a hub for community networking and organising.

与此同时，快闪空间和活动已成为再生场景中熟悉的一部分，将当前经济气候造成的许多空置建筑物、商店和建筑工地变成临时画廊、商店、工作室空间和花园。此外，经济、政治和环境变化正在造成一种情况，需要短期干预来补充或取代永久性支持机制，而永久性支持机制在未来的紧缩政策中可能不再可行。该项目探讨了如何使这些简短的干预措施取得成功，目的是了解社区组织如何更广泛地使用“同时”的概念，以释放空置空间的社会价值。在此过程中，它致力于促进一种韧性和相互依存的文化。研究小组的出发点是，第三部门和基层机构有时认为短期干预措施价值较低，因为它们不能长期持续。我们认为，这些干预措施可以在建立社会资本、提高自我效能和促进社区凝聚力方面带来显着的好处。一系列短期干预措施将变革置于社区的核心，而不是集中在所使用的空间上。通过设计研究，该项目将利用这些见解并利用绩效理论来产生想法并试验“同时”社区干预的模型，作为特定地点的临时绩效。它将重新聚焦社区理念，将空间视为一种资源，而不是基地，并将研究新的社交媒体工具如何帮助接触和吸引流动和灵活的人群进行响应和强大的社区组织。该项目将借鉴现有的“快闪”项目和设施、成功企业家的实践以及各种社区团体的需求。它将创建一个同时活动的范例，作为其调查结果报告的一部分。通过这种方式，它使用绩效理论来理解同时作为表演活动的用途，研究如何吸引客户/用户进行短期和短暂的干预，作为社区网络和组织的中心。
