Panel Discussion

With the recent technological developments and the democratization of the internet, the ever growing availability of open source tools alters the consciousness of spaces and services in urban environments and therefore transforms the way we use and consume the cities. How urban landscapes, urban commons and interstitial spaces are discovered, mapped and implemented in such a way that areas of potential in a city are manifested as part of a heightened awareness of commons?
