Program

Panel Disussion

On the transformation of contemporary urban landscapes based upon the notions of commons versus the highly individualized appropriations of spaces. Boundaries between private and public are progressively dissolving. Is the traditional notion of the ‘Volkspark’ – people’s park, somewhat outdated? Do we face a conglomerate of individual uses of recreational space? Smart parks, where public lands are dedicated to urban farming or ecological uses, are completely changing the way urban landscapes and parks are perceived. How does one design for this new urban commons?
