IIHS Urban Fellows Programme | Employers' Speak with Aditi Surie
Aseem Inam, Professor and Chair in Urban Design , Cardiff University, introduces the concept of "co-designing publics" by examining what lies at the potent intersection of the public realm and informal urbanisms. He defines the public realm as interconnected spatial and political networks of public spaces that weave a city together, while informal urbanisms are the transactional conditions of ambiguity that exist between what is acceptable and what is unacceptable in cities. He argues that publics are co-designed (i.e. co-created in inventive and multifarious ways) around common concerns or desire through volitional inquiry and action. Through the talk he illustrates how these ideas are being further investigated through case studies in cities around the world and articulated through interactive events in the Co-Designing Publics international research network, funded by a grant from the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council.
