Public Space/Contested Space - Imagination and Occupation (Paperback)

- Brings together the diverse voices of artists, architects, activists and scholars to reveal the complexities and politicization of public space as it has been celebrated, constricted, pressed in upon and opened up. - Illustrates how various creative and intentional uses of public space have the potential to challenge power, expose inequalities, and create environments to reflect the needs of the communities it serves. - Provides an up-to-date critical reflection of a range of initiatives and interventions that both respond to and spur further socio-economic and cultural changes within contemporary urban life.
