The power of public spaces to connect communities and places

该项目旨在揭示公共空间在2019冠状病毒病和气候变化时期的重要作用。公共空间不仅仅是一个赏心悦目的地方，它们也是必不可少的公民和环境资产。该项目采用协作框架来建立对话，连接学术和行业实践，并促进关于如何在现在和未来维持公共空间的辩论。预期的结果包括对社区与公共空间联系的多样性的新理解，以及土著领导在公共空间制作和设计中的重要性。好处包括一个互动网站，它将传达公共空间的新角色，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.
