New Angle on City 'Park'ing

In an attempt to stimulate a series of ‘urban conversations’, a group of urban revitalists, Park Life, have developed two complementary programmes of free activities to run on Fridays in Central Park in the city. The first of the two programmes is structured around performances, with dancers, musicians, story tellers, artists, street performers entertaining and engaging the lunch crowd. The performative programme runs fortnightly and is based around ideas running in alternate weeks. This second programme involves experienced speakers addressing the crowd on a range of issues, including locality, public life, culture, the city and its residents. As part of this series, Charles Landry will be speaking at 1pm on July 13. Park Life hopes to develop Central Park as a place for cultural revival – a nexus for new ideas, local histories, and visionaries in the heart of the city.
