The power of public spaces to connect communities and places

该项目旨在揭示公共空间在COVID-19期间和气候变化时期的重要作用。公共空间不仅仅是美好的地方，它们是一种重要的公民和环境资产。该项目采用了一个合作框架，以建立对话，沟通学术和行业实践，并促进关于如何维持现在和未来的公共空间的辩论。预期成果包括对社区与公共空间联系的多样性以及土著领导在公共空间制作和设计中的重要性的新理解。好处包括一个互动网站，将宣传公共空间的新作用，并为社区、教育工作者和政府提供宝贵的资源。

The project aims to uncover the vital role of public spaces during COVID-19 and in a time of climate change. Public spaces are not just places that are nice to have, they are an essential civic and environmental asset. The project adopts a collaborative framework to build dialogue, bridge academic and industry practice and promote debate about how to sustain public spaces now and in the future. Expected outcomes include new understandings of the diversity of community connections to public space and the importance of Indigenous leadership in public space-making and design. Benefits include an interactive website that will communicate new roles for public space and provide a valuable resource for communities, educators and governments.
