502: Ideas in Action: Energizing Public Spaces

October 06, 2016

10:30am - 12:45pm

Pre-registration Required (no cost)

This workshop will explore the planner’s role in the design and quality of public spaces. It will explore the relationship between built form and a person’s experience in the public realm.
Teams of participants will redesign an assigned public space and identify opportunities and constraints for energizing the site. Participants will be encouraged to talk to users of the site to better understand the space and its potential for improvement. Facilitators will be available help teams break out of conventional responses. Towards the end of the session, teams will present their site, their findings and their proposal to energize the space.
