Publication: Revival of City Squares in Balkan Cities

Publication "Revival of City Squares in Balkan Cities - Contribution to cultural and civic participative policies for livable city squares and public spaces" was accomplished using archive material of the project “Revival of City Squares in Balkan Cities”. 

The publication ‘Revival of City Squares in Balkan Cities’ shares the results of the activities that were performed during the course of the project. Envisaged as a means of documenting the whole process of making and disseminating the knowledge and experiences gained through its implementation, this publication comes as an overview of the project, organized in four main parts, with each one dedicated to a particular research field: first, we look at how public space is perceived by all stakeholders; we address the issue of participation in decision-making concerning public space; we focus on each of the four cities and the activities performed during the course of the project implementation; to conclude with a summary of the conference proceedings mainly from a theoretical approach. Each part is intended as a collection of “short stories” acquired through experiences, reflections, and performances made through various public spaces in Tirana, Durrës, Kotor, and Skopje over the two year-project-course.

The publication is in English language. It can be downloaded at http://www.scribd.com/ekotor
