Public Spaces Series
This series, published in association with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, focuses on developing our understanding of how people use public spaces. Each report explores people's relationships with public spaces and, in turn, the impact that public spaces have on individuals and communities. The reports feed into important debates about social capital and social cohesion.Matching titles: 1 to 4 of 4
