The Future of UK Cities - Live: The power of public space

Cities are recognising the importance of optimising how their public space is designed and used and how the spaces between buildings and places are vital to the success of a city as a whole. The efficiency of land use is key to enhancing inclusive and sustainable urbanisation. Public space has a key role in making cities liveable. To be used to their full potential, public spaces need to be safe, age-friendly, and accessible and inclusive for all.
