Places and Spaces

How municipalities design their public realm strongly influences their economy and culture. There is an instinctual desire by people for beauty and peace in their surroundings. Places and spaces help to shape the civility of cities and the people in them. How cities compete in the global economy is affected by their physical realm and local planning decisions. These are just some of the provocative themes in Gord Hume's latest municipal masterpiece, Places and Spaces.
