Parks, pavements, benches, squares, statues, sculptures. They’re all spaces that belong firmly in the public realm, spaces that belong to each and every one of us. 

But how do we make the most of these places? How do we gauge what the community needs from their shared space and how can we use the public realm to tackle some of societies trickiest problems? 

In this episode of Bailiwick Podcasts, Charlie Flynn spoke to Sasha Gibb, former art director of CCA galleries and the founder of the Public Voice: Common Ground project.

We try to nail down exactly what we mean by ‘the public realm’, the importance of public spaces that work for everyone, and how you can your say on what Jersey’s common places should look like.
