The design, quality and use of our public spaces may be the best measure of the success of our democracy, since it is in these spaces that most of us interact. SPUR and PUBLIC Bikes present an exhibition that examines the meaning and value of public spaces within our cities. Twenty-nine renowned designers explore the concept of “public” and on the bicycle as a symbol of altering the way we connect with our urban world.
Co-presented by PUBLIC Bikes.
