Resumen de Small Changes - Big Gains: Transforming the Public and Communal Open Spaces in Rundown Neighbourhoods
Georgia Butina Watson, Liz Kessler
Rundown neighbourhoods and social housing estates may not be visible to the majority of the population but they have an impact on society as a whole and not just those who live in them. This paper explains the concepts, processes and methods applied in the transformational change of public and communal open spaces in EC1, south Islington in London, and highlights the benefits of the change to their everyday users. The paper brings together a body of urban design theories and urban design collaborative approaches on open space transformational change.
