Scramble City is a visual essay by Lada Hršak, Michiel van Iersel, Dieuwertje Komen and Neeltje ten Westenend. It presents a frag- mented journey through a fragmented urban landscape filled with good intentions. In the autumn of 2010 they were part of a group
of 20 architects, urban designers, artists, designers and writers that travelled to the Balkans (Skopje, Priština, Tirana), Marseille, the North of England (Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool) and the Basque region (Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz).This ninth Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture study trip was entitled What’s Up,What’s Down: Cultural Catalysts in Urban Space and investigated the urban transformations of the last several decades in these European secondary cities.
