MA, Urban Sociology
Flexibility, transformation and innovation are vital forces of the contemporary city. Public spaces, if they are cultivated by a great variety of activities, are primary engines of this force. For it is in public spaces that “the city goes soft: it awaits the imprint of an identity. For better or worse, it invites you to remake it, to consolidate I into a shape you can live in.” (Jonathan Raban: Soft City) |
