Ecology and Public Spaces
The everyday life of the streets comprises many other ecological elements such as vegetation, animals, birds and insects on which humans are dependent and affected by their movement. The perception of the ecological elements varies depending upon the context; hence, the activities around them vary accordingly. These contributions convey the ongoing relationship between the ecological elements and the streets and public spaces, few suggested interventions as a way for us to experience this relationship differently in the future.
We had conducted a competition on this theme in February 2022. You can view the featured entries here:
