Public spaces and civic cultures

How can cities remain spaces of political formation and agonistic struggle? What is the role of architecture and architects in shaping the democratic public realm? How can arts help to turn urban public spaces into sites of possibility, aspiration and social integration?

This event connects the practices of planning, art and architecture and democratic creation of the public realm. Discussants include Iain Borden, Sarah Gaventa, Jo Noero and Heather Philipson. Henrietta Moore is the panel chair.

This is a joint event from ThinkSpace and UCL Institute for Global Prosperity.
