The author of the briefing paper ‘The cultural life of public spaces’ (Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers – Urban Design and Planning 166(3): 151–155, http://dx.doi.org/10.1680/udap.10.00057) would like to add the following acknowledgement to his paper.
The Public Space Vitality Project was led by Tim Townshend and included: Ali Madanipour and Jerome Hassler, of Guru; Sue Jackson, Bluespace Environments; and Maggie Roe of the Landscape Research Group, Newcastle University. This culminated in the final report; Public Space Vitality: in the North East Region and an event; Waste of Space? Maximising the benefits of public space: a North East perspective attended by more than 100 delegates. The author commissioned the project on behalf of One North East and Culture North East, and wishes to acknowledge the work of the research team, although any errors rest solely with the author.
