Space programme

26 March 2004

The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (Cabe) this week launched a ten-point manifesto calling on ordinary people, politicians, local authorities and businesses to reclaim Britain's city parks, squares and open spaces. The Manifesto for Better Public Spaces is supported by a report which argues that making better use of public spaces has far-ranging economic, health and social benefits. Julia Thrift, head of Cabe Space, said: "What we're advocating is a more sensible attitude from local authorities and a greater sense of responsibility from ordinary people who need to start seeing the public spaces around them as their spaces - spaces that they can feel some ownership and responsibility for." The Value of Public Spaces is available from Cabe (tel) 020 7960 2400.
