PublicSpace
Design and use of public spaces
Who owns public space? Who designs it and who uses it? Where does public responsibility for safety, service and maintenance end and where does the user's responsibility begin?
The global wave of urbanisation is placing new demands on urban space and its infrastructure. Influences such as social change, digitalisation and the shift of the private into the public sphere and vice versa are also changing the expression of and demands on cities and space. We would like to explore how public space could develop in the future.
Who owns it anyway? Who designs it and who uses it? Where does the public responsibility for safety, service and maintenance end and where does the users' personal responsibility begin? What is the effect of a possible over-instrumentalisation of the spaces on offer and their infrastructures? How can public spaces be used jointly by a wide variety of users without conflict? As usual, we will be exploring this topic in an exhibition section and in an accompanying series of lectures. We have invited speakers from the fields of architecture, art, economics, sociology, history and administration.
