| Sumario: | This book presents the results of the 2022 award of the European Prize for Urban Public Space, which the Centre of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona (CCCB) created in 2000 as a permanent observatory of European cities in order to bring to the fore the political and cultural importance of the shape of cities. In the twenty years of its history, the Prize has become a mirror of European cities, of the big problems they share, and also the regional specificities that make them unique, while also offering a good portrait of the history and present of Europe drawn from what is reflected in their stones, squares and streets, seafronts and riverbanks, markets, railway stations, libraries, connections with natural resources, and their peripheries. The Prize, then, presents a privileged portrayal of cities that share history, culture and—we trust—a political project, which remind us that, probably, Europe’s main cultural contribution to humanity is its idea of public space, that of a densely populated compact city which believes in coexistence that becomes possible with a mix of uses and populations. |
