Is Public Space a Public Good?<\/h2>\n

Public space is routinely seen as the cure to every imaginable urban ill, from air quality to obesity. But how much of what we call public space is really public? In the second annual\u00a0Warren Gill Memorial Lecture, author and critic\u00a0Mark Kingwell will consider this problem, together with its implications for the notion of urban play and the so-called ‘right to the city.’ He will conclude with some reflections on the relationship between the city and the university.<\/p>\n

About the\u00a0Warren Gill Memorial Lecture<\/h2>\n

The annual Warren Gill Memorial Lecture is the highlight of the Simon Fraser University\u2019s City Program.<\/p>\n

\"Warren<\/a>Dr. Warren Gill was passionately engaged in the cities and neighbourhoods in which he lived and worked. As a member of the senior administration at SFU, he was instrumental in the development of its downtown campus; as an urban geography professor, he inspired many students. Never satisfied with the status quo, Warren worked constantly to make life in the city more interesting and more inclusive.<\/p>\n

The intent of this lecture series in his honour is to continue his questioning, raise new ideas and invoke new ways of thinking about life in the urban context.<\/p>\n
