# Urbanism & City Culture Trends 2012

Analyzing next trends often is an act of trying to shape the future based on past experiences. For that reason it’s like a big lottery with an intended purpose - But an interesting one!


## Crowd-funded Urbanism and more...


**Jeroen Beekmans** from *The Pop-Up City* recently started to publish a series of [ten trends for 2012](http://popupcity.net/2012/01/top-10-trends-for-2012/) when it comes to city culture, urban design, marketing and technology. The list includes interesting ideas like *Crowd-Funded Urbanism* or [*Urbanism Made To Like*](http://popupcity.net/2012/01/trend-10-urbanism-made-to-like/) and phenomenons like [*The Revival Of Psychogeography*](http://popupcity.net/2012/01/trend-9-the-revival-of-psychogeography/) just to name a few.

Jeroen considers those trends-to-be to be very important for our cities in the coming 52 weeks and although the list isn’t completed, I think it includes some worth to know basic approaches. Check them out to know what’s probably going to happen in our urban landscapes in 2012 - And subscribe to the *Pop-Up City* RSS feed!
