Since 2013, we have built global partnerships to foster and advance knowledge on public space, integrating both research and practical perspectives. Our collaborations span universities, municipalities, philanthropic institutions, and non-profit organisations across diverse fields and themes, all grounded in an interdisciplinary approach.
