Second meeting of the Research Group Venice, 23 September 2016

The ‘Past Present and Future of Public Space’ international seminar was jointly organized by City Space Architecture and the Queensland University of Technology, in partnership with The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Biennial of Public Space. Hosted at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the seminar was the second meeting of an international research group focused on public space, cities and urbanity, after the successful three-day conference held in Bologna on June 2014.

During the seminar scholars launched a brand new academic journal, ‘The Journal of Public Space’, that City Space Architecture and the Queensland University of Technology founded in 2015, in partnership with UN-Habitat, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme.
