Spaces for Creation
Part of a series of conversations about urbanism and cultural space
Join international cultural consultants Clare Cumberlidge and Tom Fleming as they discuss how public space is being reclaimed for creation and production, followed by an open conversation. 
How will we be using our public space differently in the future? In a climate where our city centres are comprised of public-private land and retail development, we focus on the role of culture in shaping urban life.
Spaces for Creation is supported by Arts Council England.
