Small urban hacks, acupunctural action and process-oriented planning approaches might appear to address quite a socio-romantic attitude towards our urban environments. In this chapter, our aim is to remedy such a biased view, demonstrating the impact and potential of smallness in the context of major urban challenges. Small urban hacks and their multi-faceted and creativity-driven approaches of small is beautiful are selected from all over Europe to investigate the rigidity of the existing urban fabric. Small actions are reflected in a quantitative and qualitative way, analyzing and critically dissecting their impact, civic acceptance and efforts to achieve a resilient future urban spirit. This meticulous inspection reframes the urban acupuncture standpoint, outlining the possibility for reconciliation between both former and current planning credos in view of present and upcoming urban threats.
