Activating Public Space to Support Belonging
Room: Grand 1
What is the role of public space and public life in amplifying the Purpose Built Communities model? In this session, network leaders from East Savannah United and South City Foundation will join designers from Gehl, an urban strategy and design consultancy, in answering this question. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to pilot light-touch projects in public spaces to activate street life, enhance feelings of belonging and social connection, and inform long-term neighborhood transformation goals.
