每十二年，為了宗教節慶大壺節，就會有一個百萬人的大城市在印度拔地而起——花十週就能建造起來，一週就能完全拆除。我們從這個功能完善的臨時性建築能學到什麼？在這場有遠見的演說中，都市設計師拉胡馬哈塔帶大家探究建造這個可搬移、適應環境、甚至消失，在地球上盡可能落下最輕微痕跡的臨時性城市能帶來什麼好處。

A city of seven million people rises for just 55 days at the Kumbh Mela festival in India, built from five simple materials and disassembled within a week. This temporary megacity offers all the infrastructure and services of a permanent metropolis but leaves almost no trace when gone. Its intentional impermanence challenges the obsession with lasting structures and urges a shift toward flexible, reversible urban solutions. Such fleeting settlements highlight how cities can touch the Earth lightly while efficiently meeting massive human needs.
