This chapter considers the subtle forces and political dynamics of an urban intervention: the proposed use of core space as an intervention strategy for the peri-urban areas of Honiara, Solomon Islands. This intervention is one of effecting small, structural change to the interiors of informal dwellings. These central internal spaces—core spaces—would be constructed or hardened within dwellings to provide reinforced survival shelters for an urban population facing increasingly severe climate-related disasters. As a well-established incremental housing strategy, core space functions spatially to stabilise and secure one’s lodgment in place. However, core space is also a profoundly temporal intervention; it is a means of ensuring one’s continued placement by hedging against the delocalisation and unsettlement of a people that is already unfolding in time. The chapter engages the complexity at stake in core space by considering the logistic time of unsettlement. Of interest are both the subtle co-dependencies between logistic regimes and urban life, and the way in which logistic tendencies open possibilities for a rethinking of the urban situations that come to precede destruction.
