Public Space Activism

Public Space Activism involves efforts by individuals or groups to influence how shared urban areas like parks, streets, and plazas are used, managed, or designed. It aims to promote equitable, accessible, and inclusive environments through advocacy, community engagement, and sometimes direct action. This activism seeks to ensure public spaces serve the needs of diverse communities, foster social interaction, and support civic life. By highlighting issues or proposing changes, public space activists work to shape cities that are more vibrant, sustainable, and responsive to residents’ voices.
