Aglaée Degros (Director of the Institute of Urbanism) and Stefan Bendiks (co-founder of the office Artgineering) extend an invitation to a book presentation and podium discussion.

Public space is the essence of urban life. An effective way to increase both its quality and quantity in our cities is to convert space dedicated to traffic into real public space. This publication is a handbook for creative strategies and their implementation.

Panel discussion participants:
Petra Petersson (Dean of the Faculty of Architecture)
Peter Sturm (Office of the Styrian Provincial Government, Dept. 16: Transport and State Building)
Wolfgang Feigl (City of Graz, Head of the Department of Transportation Planning)
Eva Guttmann (Freelance architecture journalist and project manager for Park Books Austria)
Robert Rötzer (Owner of Parks Coffee Shops)

Registration is kindly requested before Monday, November 18, 2019 and can be sent to: m.haselbacher-berner@tugraz.at.

The publication is available at bookstores and through www.park-books.com or sales@park-books.com.
