Streets for All

街道共同体

Streets For All

个体流动的常态化，城市场景的同质化，都使得我们逐步陷入一种“无地方性”。在互联网和疫情的进一步消解下，人们越发期望实体空间能够映射我们真实的身份认知，承载人与人之间的连接互动。是谁塑造了今天我们所在的城市？在规划师，建筑师与工匠之外，作为个体是否也能参与构筑属于我们的“附近”？

在通常语境下，开发（develop）的概念意味着资源投入和决策力量；然而随着社区网络的形式和尺度不断蔓延生长，开发不再只是自上而下地统筹动员，也可以是自下而上产生的行动计划。在这些行动和尝试中，一部分只能在微观层面产生影响，一部分却可以推动实质性的建设和改变。

展览通过八个案例研究与城市影像作品的并置，呈现了国内外城市中不同群体自发组织、参与改变城市空间的实践案例，邀请公众一道探讨此时此地可能的行动路径，观照他者的多元观念。通过这些探索，每一个在地的个体和社群都能够从日常的居住、生活、工作中感知到空间的可能性和归属感；而空间也将如实刻画身体与世界的纽带，和人们对美好公共生活场域的向往。

The normalisation of individual mobility and largely homogenized urban scene have led us into a kind of 'placelessness'. Internet penetration and pandemic controls further disintegrated our social connection, yet we crave increasingly for physical spaces that map our true identity and interaction. Who (can/will) shape the cities we live in today? Beyond planners, architects and artisans, can we as individuals also participate in the construct of our own 'nearby'?

In a common context, the notion of development implies a considerable commitment of resources and strategies. However, as community networks grow, development necessitates not only top-down mobilisation, but also bottom-up action plans. Some action makes an impact at only micro level, while some may drive substantial changes in time.

Juxtapositing eight case studies and multimedia works, the exhibition presents examples of self-organizing local communities and their participation in the transformation of urban space, inviting the audience to explore possible paths of action and diversified perception in such process. Every individual and community may jointly explore the possibility of space and a sense of belonging; and our surrounding spaces may truly connect the body and the world, manifesting our aspiration for a better public being.
