Spaces For Creation – Legible Cities with Morag Myerscough

Continuing the series of conversations about urbanism and cultural space, Spaces For Creation brings together leading artists, architects, urbanists and public designers to discuss the relationship between public and creative space. Together, we will be looking at issues ranging from how to make a city legible through a creative identity, how public space is negotiated and how cities can establish a sustainable creative culture for the future.

In this edition, artist-designer Morag Myerscough will host a conversation on Legible Cities; how do we get around cities instinctively? What visual signifiers lead us to where we need to be? How can we make the experience of navigating a city easier, and ultimately, more fun?
