One year after the historic #newurbanagenda (adopted by consensus by 193 countries) it's time to re-double efforts on implementation, using the framework of public space systems. We need new models of thought and action! @FutureofPlaces #publicspaces #WUF9 xitter.cf/ebkent/status/93859540…
Planning for @wuf9kl2018. Let us, & @jplistens of @mythinkcity, know if you'll be there & are interested in participating in events on implementing the #NewUrbanAgenda through #Placemaking & #publicspaces. The #WUF9 #UrbanVillage will be a great gathering place for #placemakers! xitter.cf/futureofplaces/status/…
