Publicspace.nu is a weblog that regularly presents inspiring information and news about the field of urbanism. The weblog has an interest in a wide range of subjects, but always from an urbanism perspective. This makes the weblog worth reading for everybody that is working in or interested in the field of urbanism.

The weblog Publicspace.nu is the ‘frontend’ of a group of people with a common interest and professional background in urban design and planning (urbanism). Members self-organize social or local groups where exchange of knowledge and opinions on urbanism related subjects takes place. These groups have a strong social component, as well as a professional component, which is expressed in the Publicspace.nu weblog. Publicspace was born in 2007 and is currently based in Delft, The Netherlands.

[O]bservations contain experiences, observations, information and facts that attracted the writers attention. Mostly presented in only a few sentences. [Q]uotes contain statements or writings that are interesting for our profession. [P]laces present examples or reviews of interesting place.

Events
Interesting lectures about urbanism related subjects (that take place in the Randstad region) are presented in the [E]vents category. Suggestions and information about lectures taking place are welcome.
