Public Space

Dense urban environments need appealing and safe outdoor spaces so that people can gather, exercise, play and enjoy the outdoors. Public spaces are important for fostering civic engagement in decision-making. Ensuring that they are safe and accessible to women, children and those with disabilities makes urban environments more inclusive.
