London is planning to transform the disused Camden London is planning to transform the disused Camden railway into a lush tree-lined 'garden walkway'. The route is 1.2km long, around 8 metres above ground and will bring new local green space to 20,000 people. As part of London’s post-pandemic green initiatives, the project is expected to connect neighbourhoods, increase local access to green space, and boost tourism. The project is currently waiting for planning permission and seeking funding. Would you like to see a park like this in your city? What are your ideas of making use of underused public spaces?

On our radar this week is Elizabeth Diller’s @te On our radar this week is Elizabeth Diller’s @ted Talk - “A stealthy reimagining of public space”. As our cities are becoming increasingly privatised, carving out space that exists purely for the public is turning into a necessary cause that needs to be actively fought for 🌳. Designers, architects and urban planners must defend public space, advocate for more of it and reclaim space that has been lost due to neglect and a lack of vision 🕳 However, an important point to consider in the creation of more public space is the gentrification that often follows - how do we avoid this? 🏙 Are there any spaces near you that you feel could better serve the public and/or environment? 🌍 Find Diller’s Ted Talk at the link in bio.

SelgasCano's Louisiana Hamlet Pavilion to House a SelgasCano's Louisiana Hamlet Pavilion to House a School in Nairobi's Kibera Slum The Hamlet Pavilion is a great example of architecture that explores non-traditional ways of making architecture. The pavilion makes use of light materials that are adaptable and further explores other ways of making architecture by shipping, what was initially designed as a public space for congregation, to Nairobi where it will be used as a school facility. The Kenyan students currently occupying a decrepit facility will now make use of this pavilion expanding the vision of how low-cost architecture can be effectively realized.

What role can public park play in connecting peopl What role can public park play in connecting people to housing service during the pandemic? Having realized that many of the regular park users were experiencing homelessness, or struggling with precarious housing arrangements, Atlanta’s Woodruff Park decided to incorporate social service provision and housing strategies in their everyday management. Since September 2018, the park has connected over 100 people to permanent housing. Who could have imagined the significance this innitiative would take on during a global pandemic? Now, the Woodruff Park offers a tested, place-based model that other parks can adopt to address the rising challenge of homelessness amid COVID-19’s public health and economic devastation. Do you think this initiative could be inspiring for South African cities, where public parks are often fenced and vagrancy has long been viewed as “an issue”?
