Social Equity in Public Space

Social equity in public space means designing and managing parks, streets, and other communal areas so that everyone, regardless of their background, income, age, or ability, has fair access and feeling of safety, comfort, and inclusion. It aims to remove barriers that might prevent marginalized groups from enjoying or benefiting from these spaces. This ensures that public spaces serve the diverse needs of all community members, fostering social cohesion, participation, and a sense of belonging. Ultimately, it promotes fairness and justice in how public resources are shared and experienced.
