Agoradynamics: restoring public space

What determines the fate of our cities? Is it policy and infrastructure or is it our attitudes and desires? Bob Perry, an architect and a director of SCAPE, a consultancy focused on urban design, planning, landscape architecture and transport, thinks it's our attitudes and desires. He believes that we have reached a point where an imbalance between our public and our private lives needs to be fixed if we're to enjoy a sustainable life. In this country, that means embracing the idea of urban density and shared public space. It also means getting on your bike.
