Remote Places, Public Spaces

The SMOTIES network is a partnership of ten design universities, research centres, creative agencies, and national associations. Each partner selected a small and remote place in their country to benefit from the design of cultural and creative regenerations within public spaces and in collaboration with local stakeholders.
The project is part of the Human Cities network, a platform for interdisciplinary exchange, examining and acting to improve the livability of indoor and outdoor public spaces to incubate innovative processes for social cohesion through participatory design.
