1 Understand the context

Before you start designing, you need to understand the context of the public space. What are the needs, preferences, and values of the people who will use it? What are the environmental and historical characteristics of the site? How can you respect and enhance the local identity and culture? Conducting participatory research, engaging with stakeholders, and observing the existing patterns of use can help you gain insights into the context.

2 Incorporate green features

One of the main goals of sustainable design is to reduce the environmental impact of the public space. You can do this by incorporating green features that conserve energy, water, and materials, and that promote biodiversity and ecosystem services. For example, you can use renewable energy sources, rainwater harvesting systems, native plants, green roofs, and permeable pavements. These features can also improve the aesthetic and functional quality of the public space, as well as the health and well-being of the users.

3 Create flexible and adaptable spaces

Another goal of sustainable design is to ensure that the public space can respond to changing needs and conditions over time. You can do this by creating flexible and adaptable spaces that can accommodate different uses, events, and activities. For example, you can use modular furniture, movable walls, and multi-purpose zones. These spaces can also foster creativity, diversity, and social interaction among the users, as well as increase the sense of ownership and stewardship.

In my thesis, I focused on the future of public spaces and their sustainability, which can be achieved through their flexibility and adaptation to different events. Public spaces, which today are considered the "face of the city", will play an increasingly important role in the future. The rapid development of multimedia communication will change the way we work and, above all, the place of work. It will be possible to compensate for the non-existent personal social contacts at work with experiences and meetings precisely in public spaces, which should be of high quality, connected, rich in possibilities of use, flexible, accessible to everyone. This can be achieved through the ability to change layout, appearance and purpose.

4 Encourage participation and collaboration

A key aspect of social and cultural sustainability is to involve the community in the design, management, and maintenance of the public space. You can do this by encouraging participation and collaboration among different groups and individuals, such as residents, businesses, organizations, and authorities. For example, you can use co-design workshops, crowdsourcing platforms, feedback mechanisms, and volunteer programs. These methods can also enhance the trust, communication, and empowerment of the community, as well as the sense of belonging and identity.

My experiences have shown and taught me that getting community involvement through a sense of ownership and community pride creates not only a sense of belonging, but personal ownership and pride in effort

5 Provide educational and cultural opportunities

Public spaces can also serve as platforms for education and culture, as they can inform, inspire, and entertain the users. You can do this by providing educational and cultural opportunities that showcase the values and achievements of the community, as well as the challenges and solutions for sustainability. For example, you can use interpretive signs, interactive exhibits, art installations, and cultural events. These opportunities can also increase the awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of the users, as well as the pride and reputation of the community.

6 Evaluate and improve

Finally, you need to evaluate and improve the performance and impact of the public space on a regular basis. You can do this by using qualitative and quantitative methods that measure the environmental, social, and economic indicators of sustainability. For example, you can use surveys, interviews, observations, sensors, and audits. These methods can also provide feedback, lessons learned, and recommendations for future improvements.

To create public spaces that foster community ownership and sustainability, consider designing flexible and adaptable environments. A great example is using modular furniture and movable walls to create multi-purpose zones. This approach not only accommodates various events and activities but also encourages creativity, diversity, and social interaction. It enhances the sense of ownership and stewardship among users. Think of a park that transforms into a community event space or a pop-up market, adapting to the community's evolving needs. This dynamic approach to public space design is key to building vibrant, inclusive communities.
