Open spaces

cover by: Małgorzata Maria Olchowska

The June issue of werk, bauen + wohnen focuses on the Open Spaces. 

The densely populated city is becoming narrower for everyone and an open space has an essential role to play – ecologically and socially. As a shade island and biodiverse retention area, it brings longed-for relief to overheated cities. As a public space, it should enable encounters, but also undisturbed coexistence. Wherever people meet to chat over coffee, there should also be room for children’s games, political demonstrations or the teenagers’ boombox.
