-Explore Theoretical Foundations:
Students will critically examine the development of idea of public sphere in planning, the key theories
on public space with a focus on socio-spatial inclusion, diversity, justice, and conviviality, and how
these concepts shape the design and management of inclusive public spaces supporting diversity.
-Analyze Case Studies:
Students will analyze real-world case studies of public spaces in different cities, such as squares, streets,
parks, and gardens, to understand how various cultural, social, and historical contexts influence the
design of inclusive, accessible spaces.
-Bridging theory with practice:
Through hands-on workshops along simultaneous peer and instructor feedbacks, students will apply
contemporary public space research methods to reimagine public spaces.
- Propose Solutions for Inclusive Public Spaces:
Students will engage with contemporary urban policies and research methods that address inclusion and
diversity, and will propose solutions to improve meanings and physical form of public space.
