And one of our favourite quotes/calls to action: "There is an urgency to make our public spaces places people want to be... Messiness provides an opportunity for people to 'speak their needs.'"
"Having a city that can accommodate messiness is a sign of urban health." Within this, public spaces can be a place of "positive friction" and an opportunity to "deliver on the promise of empathy." #ZahraEbrahim, in conversation with @fabulavancouver at @VPL cc @vpsn
A note of gratitude for all the beautiful parks, plazas, beaches, high streets, community centres, libraries... and other public spaces in Vancouver - along with the many folks that look after this incredible commonwealth. Wishing you all a very happy thanksgiving!
