Café Kanal 1 - 4 April 2011 – 19.45
PUBLIC SPACES
Water, squares, streets, parks... of the imagination.
Ecole de Cirque de Bruxelles - rue Picardstraat 11 (Tour & Taxis) – 1000 Brussels

How do we deal with a city that is constantly changing, a city that is alive and dynamic?
Which new squares, streets and parks are planned or will be given a new lease of life?
How strongly do the ‘big’ projects along the canal differ from the ‘small’ projects in the different neighbourhoods?
How can or should these new public spaces be laid out?
What do we want these public spaces to look like in twenty years from now?
What are the dreams?
