Public squares occupy a distinct place within the wider spectrum of urban public spaces. While we may recognise them instantly, their definition often blurs in both theory and practice. In this webinar, Ela will unpack that ambiguity and discuss core principles for creating successful squares—asking key questions about their meaning, functions, and spatial and physical qualities—in order to move toward more deliberate and effective urban form in contemporary city-making.
