Abstract
This chapter is based on an anthropological research project initiated at the Catholic University of Leuven with a view to exploring the impact of so-called makerspaces and hackerspaces on the urban environment of which they form part. We describe the genesis of the project, and end by setting out five arenas, or heuristic devices, which we think are crucial when investigating the potential of these creative hubs in shaping their urban environment and in designing the future.
