PUBLIC SPACE AND PEOPLE
online workshop directed by Andres Walliser
Public spaces have been one of the defining elements of the urban
condition, whereas a city or a hamlet.
This workshop aims to look at public space from a social point of view.
The workshop will focus on different uses of public space in relation with social, cultural, political, and environmental variables; the evolution of public space in urban contexts, and the role of people in public space development through practice, use, and participatory tools.
Public space can be the result of a customary use along time, or of
urban planning as a given space with different functions like
representation, social control, or commercial, among others. It also can be the outcome of a participation process – both top down (this is launched by the public administration), or bottom up, demanded by the residents.
The workshop will be illustrated with examples reviewing both
public spaces along history and recent relevant cases of innovation in urban and social design.
Andres Walliser has a PhD in Sociology and he is a specialist in urban issues. As an Academic, he is particularly interested in participation, gobernance, and social exclusion; while as a practitioner, he focuses on urban planning and urban policies.
