Public Space Activism and the Space for New Commons: Directions for So- cially Engaged Design, Planning, and Placemaking
Keywords:
Participatory design;, Seattle;, Taipei;, multiethnic communities;, landscape design.Abstract
This article was prepared based on a talk given at the Department of Landscape Architecture at SUNY ESF (College of Environment, Science and
Forestry, State University of New York) in April 2017. The original title was Public Space Activism and Reclaiming the Commons. It was changed to the current title as I realized later that the focus was not about reclaiming or restoring commons that once existed but instead about new commons – new social relationships, new model of interactions in the society that can be facilitated through design, planning, and placemaking practices that build on what we know and do already in community engagement but in a more nimble, networked, and open-ended manner, a mannerthat is exemplified in aspects of recent public space activism. Additionally, part of the writing has been previously published in Perspecta 50 (HOU 2017a).
