Public Spaces in Cities: Picture Book Concept

Public Spaces in Cities: Picture Book Concept

This project is in development. This picture book about public spaces where community comes together in cities around the world explores the concept of public space and the many forms it comes in, where lagoon, street, piazza, market, or staircase. The book investigates the history of each space, whether it grew organically or was designed, and what it means to the city it belongs to. Even more meaningfully, it explores the way public spaces hold people and neighbors, bring visitors and residents together, the many events they hold, and how they serve the community.
