This chapter examines how increasing bureaucratic domination of inhabitation reduces the possibilities of prefigurative politics and political transformation, using Christiania in Copenhagen as a case study. Christiania still exemplifies prefigurative politics, enacting alternative political, economic, and social relations rather than waiting for systemic change. It has functioned as an experimental space where governance, housing, and social organisation operate outside traditional capitalist and state-imposed norms. However, Christiania’s shift from radical squat to bureaucratic assimilation is increasingly evident. The new planning paradigm introduced after its 2012 legalisation is reflected in construction practices over the past decade. Christiania’s culture of building—as a concrete, aesthetic, and democratic participation in public space, or political prefiguration—has been progressively shaped by bureaucratic domination through the requirement of formal planning permissions. Lefebvre’s distinction between representations of space—which organise, codify, and control urban life—and differential space offers a perspective for understanding contemporary eco-socio-political crises. Differential space conceptualises the urban as a continuously socially produced space, where everyday embodied practices generate radical democratic participation. This chapter investigates how formal planning frameworks threaten to normalise and reduce Christiania’s prefigurative political agency and argues that embodied inhabitation remains crucial for nurturing political transformation.
