Urban Lexicons

Urban Lexicons explores how we build relationships through the ways in which a city speaks to us and how we speak back as active participants within the city. Focusing on a deeper read of public spaces, it encourages a fluency of language and confidence (verbal, experiential and visual) in defining meaning among our city streets — if you can’t articulate why a space is important to you, you lack the power to claim space within the wider systems of regeneration within a city. Through our open source approach we offer tools to citizens and research practitioners to capture and communicate meaning in the spaces people value, and create tools that make their ‘voice’ and response known within that space as our cities evolve.
