With Tom Paints the Fence, the editors and contributors lay out groundbreaking elements for urban research and design by opening up assemblages, territories, and archive layers of the teaching and research project University of Neighborhoods – almost a decade after the experiment on the Elbe island Wilhelmsburg came to an end with the demolition of the building.
