1.Public space accepts diversity as a norm
2. Public spaces act as cultural and social transformers of society in relation to culture, life forming and as attractors for mix of segments of people.
3. Public spaces should be inclusive everyone. They should function as urban hubs that physically and mentally connect different parts of the city and its inhabitants.

Analytical approach
How the city, its spaces, life forming and the body interact in urban space
PUBLIC SPACE AS A CATALYST FOR CHANGEMETHODS AND STRATEGIES FOR URBAN QUALITIES
We use thoughts from urban theorists pointing to the relation between the city, its spaces, life forming and the body.
The idea that an aesthetical and sensory oriented approach is called for due to the new demands in the experience city.

Performativity
e square attracts flows from a distance.High degree of material, spatial and sensory gestures both attracting, distributing and orienting the user. The plaza allows movement across the space in any possible direction as it is accessible from various angles.

PUBLIC SPACE AS CATALYST FOR CHANGEDUBLIN GRAND CANAL PLAZA
The use of the spatial and bodily affective shaping of the physical environment to attract, distribute and integrate the visitor in the space. The design invites the user to integrate and perform on its stage.

PUBLIC SPACE AS A CATALYST FOR CHANGE DUBLIN GRAND CANAL PLAZA
A way of framing interaction. Formal structures and sensory gestures are combined to attract and direct the 8lows of the square.
A representational space with bodily experienced qualities

Performativity is the inclusion of an action, a performance, an event etc. in urban space, which is intended to in8luence – permanently or temporary a given urban space. In other words performativity is to make something happen in the urban realm. The performative intervention can be the use of physical or social elements or the creation of new identity giving narratives.

PUBLIC SPACE AS CATALYST FOR CHANGEPROEIXAMPLE, BARCELONA
Jardins de la Torre de les Aigües is established by the publicprivate partnership ProEixample. They initiated the regeneration and development of more than 40 backyards in the neighborhood, Eixample.
Each backyard has its own functions and aesthetical atmospheres.But all recreational, green semi public urban psaces developed through a parallel initiative.

Parallelism is the notion of creating coherence between several places by simultaneously implementing identical interventions in the urban fabric, physically or socially.

Performativity is the inclusion of an action, a performance, an event etc. in urban space, which is intended to in8luence – permanently or temporary other agents in urban space. In other words performativity is to affect and change matters in the urban realm.
Parallelism is the notion of creating coherence between several places by simultaneously implementing identical interventions in the urban fabric, physically or socially.
Area strategies covers chosen, limited districts within the city where a given theme or approach is implemented. The goal is to apply interventions that activate the chosen area as a whole.
Mnemonics is a way to create a collective memory by visually referring to given narratives or signi8iers.
Acupuncture is an accurate intervention that is capable of both activating a larger area than itself or even in8luence an area different to the one being pierced.

We propose an integrated and holistic understanding of the complex transformation proceses in the city.Through strategic tools initiating urban processes,
A new role for the planner: a strategic and proactive coordinator of urban processes
The use of urban architecture and design as strategic planning not as material development.
Thus planning is no longer a form imposed upon urban matter, but is rather strategic tool to be used in the broader perspective of urban transformation processes.
