"“We need to re-think the urban agenda and to adopt a new approach to the huge
urbanization challenge. It is time for urban policies beyond housing policies we have had
in the past years. Our future cities must generate wealth, equity and freedom.”
Dr. Joan Clos, Execu2ve Director, UN-‐HABITAT
The prosperity of naIons is inImately linked to the prosperity of ciIes. No country has ever achieved sustained economic growth and rapid social development without urbanizing.
Commission on Growth and Development, 2009
A new approach and value we promote
6
City-‐building through urban
planning, focused on public space and with the ciIzens at
the centre.
7
Public spaces advances a different version of developing ciIes by drawing on the right to the city -‐ as a site of social encounter and social division,
as a field of poliIcs and power, as a plaTorm for economic endeavour,
as a symbolic and material landscape, and as a realm of everyday experience.
Social PoliIcal Economic Environmental Cultural AestheIc
Why public spaces?
8
Mechanism for diverse groups to parIcipate in what is a relaIvely level playing field for decision-‐making.
Enhancements in public space can significantly
sImulate investment and employment.
Can quickly result in improvements that are highly
visible and immediately accessible by the people.
