Why the talk is inspiring?
Over the past decades, end-users in Western Europe have been kept at a distance from the architectural product. This exclusion has ultimately led to the perversion of urban developments. ‘Open-source’ urbanism on the contrary envisions the inclusion of end-users. By taking use as a starting point, better cities can be made.
