The Centre for Social Studies (CES), University of Coimbra, calls for
contributions to its second annual symposium entitled Animation of Public
Space through the Arts: Innovation and Sustainability within the thematic
framework of Urban Management and Cultural Policy of the City. The

animation of public spaces can contribute to building more sustainable
cities. Community sustainability is viewed as encompassing and
intertwining environmental, cultural, social and economic sustainability
and resiliency. The symposium will explore and advance arts-based
approaches to sustainable city building, public engagement, and animation
of public space by bringing together interdisciplinary researchers,
students, and practitioners to share experiences and insights.
Among the discussion themes are:
•	animation of public space through artistic practices,
•	sustainable use of public space,
•	urban-nature interactions,
•	community change, public engagement, and social sustainability,
•	community transitions and sustainabilities,
•	heritage and memory in the context of cultural sustainability,
•	creativity and innovation for sustainability,
•	sustainability and creative education.
The deadline for submissions is 15 May 2011.
