Future of the City Centre Network
Spatial equity & inclusiveness
Following the formation of a strategic alliance between the Architectural Research Centers Consortium and the CIB working commission on Architectural Design and Management, work began on spatial equity and inclusiveness. The principles were debated at a workshop during the ARCC conference in 2022, and it was concluded that the focus should be on the city centre. A second workshop at the ARCC conference in 2023, involved a conversation about the privatisation and commercialisation of public space, homelessness and rough sleeping, and changes in working practices and building uses; with an international group of discussants. The purpose of this section is as a repository for papers and notes, and a place where people can contribute with blogs and thought pieces.
