T-Factor | Meanwhile uses at MIND

At MIND, former Expo 2015 site, the T-Factor project transforms vacant plots into living labs of biodiversity, community, and innovation. This fifth episode in our LAND Research Lab journey explores how temporary uses can unlock long-term impact.

In this video, we hear from Andrea Balestrini, Director of Research at LAND, and Giulia Bonisoli, Public Realm Development Manager Lendlease, as they reflect on the evolution of open spaces since 2020, and how developers are rethinking urban regeneration.

From Herbula to non-human stakeholders, this is placemaking with purpose.
