The Places Between

Much of civil society is created from the ‘places between’ - where the boundaries of entry are removed and there is interaction between all communities.

As part of London Festival of Architecture, FCBStudios’ latest exhibition profiles the public spaces of six London projects and their role in creating successful places.

These public spaces – internal and external – are where people, young and old and from all walks of life:
shape communities,
make connections,
define character,
enjoy comfort,
share commodities
and take part in celebration.

Recognising the ‘places between’ as an essential part of social infrastructure can address challenges of isolation, education, crime, social inequality and polarisation. By investing in these spaces, such as libraries, parks and public space, we can all reap the benefits.
