Video Vancouver: Stand up for Public Space

Via UN-Habitat:

In this lecture, Luisa Bravo, president of City Space Architecture, advocates for that public space in cities is a common good, meant to be open, inclusive and democratic — a right for everybody.

The lecture addresses the following issues:

• top-down approach vs bottom-up practices in the contemporary age
• architecture/architects and urban design/designers as open-minded tools/actors
• the relevance of public space in the urban discourse
• the players involved in the public space process
• lessons learned and what we still need to know/do
• what everyone can do everyday for public space
