The Cost of Losing Our Public Spaces: From London to Lima

UCL Minds

Public spaces like parks are increasingly becoming less accessible. This phenomenon, observable from London to Lima, affects how we socialise, engage in physical activities and participate in our communities. One reason for this lack of access is the commodification of these spaces but what are the consequences of charging a fee to access a park? In this episode, Onya speaks with Nadar Chioino, an MSc PIE alum and multidisciplinary designer, and Daniela Chong, a city planner, architect and designer from Lima, Peru. What are the benefits of public spaces for our well-being, and what are the consequences when these spaces are privatized and become less accessible?
