What makes up the space of a modern city? What is the symbolic space of the city and how does it define the daily life of citizens? What is missing in urban spaces in Russia and what are they like in other countries? What is a comfortable public and street space and how can cultural institutions and creative projects affect it? How do communities fit into the urban and media spaces and how can they be activated? How can the creation of a network of urban communities help in the development of the city? These and many other questions will be the key topics of our course.
