"...what anchors a good downtown is a public space that supports informal activity. A lot of money is often spent on programming and putting on events and activities, but the more informal life can be, the more serendipitous, and social, and human scaled, & organic, the better."

Supporting busking will draw out the soul of a city, and celebrate the creativity and culture of the local community.
My conversation with @buskingproject:
"We should look holistically at the interconnections between the whole busking ecosystem and #publicspace, and the opportunities that allow for the creation of a busking ecosystem." @ebkent

Privatization of public spaces through planting & #landscapearchitecture is unfortunately a threat to growing public use & investment.
To drive more demand for greening, human use, maintenance & management of the public realm we need to keep optimizing its use for human outcomes.

Highlights from a quick visit to Warsaw, Poland after #PlacemakingWeekEurope. Visits to several Polish cities have inspired me to try to learn more about Poland's successful development model through public realm investment.

The recent pedestrianization of many key streets in Warsaw is the latest case of Poland's effective model of drive inclusive development through investment in #PublicSpace.
Leading the transformation of #cities with #Placemaking can quickly change how a city is experienced!

"One of the bravest, boldest things that humans do is to perform right at the centre of a community. That vulnerability melts away the barriers that exist in society. The buskers that thrive are the ones that contribute most to shared experience, to happiness and connection."
