Great Places, Great Cities - Brussels, 23-25 September 2007 23-09-2007 Introduction Public spaces are vital parts of every community. Creating great public
spaces that benefit our cities and foster security, lively-hood and a sense of
belonging is the challenge faced by civic leaders everywhere. “Great Places,
Great Cities” brings together experts from around the world that are challenging
the current paradigm in city planning in order to create better places for
people both now and in the future.
Description
For three days of interactive sessions and plenary lectures, participants can
learn how to effect change through 'placemaking', discuss approaches with
leading experts who are pushing the boundaries in urban design, transportation,
community development and city renewal and hear real-life stories and
experiences from change leaders in the field.
In order to optimise the international exchange of knowledge and experience
on public space, the organisers want to set up the 'European Centre on Public
Space'. ECPS is a non-profit organisation in establishment. It will gradually
create a sustainable collaboration between different European organisations that
are dealing with Public Space. The organisers of this conference aim to set the
stage for new collaborations and partnerships between placemakers in Western and
Eastern Europe .
