SMOTIES Toolbox: Design Tools for the Creative Transformation of Public Spaces in Small and Remote Places

Human Cities/SMOTIES Creative works with small and remote places is a four-year project, started in 2020, and co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Union. The SMOTIES Toolbox aims to guide project experts through co-designing public spaces. It has already been prototyped in remote places in 10 European countries and tested in four higher education programs.

This book can help to build better places by supporting change through culture-led regeneration and stimulating diverse creative activities to foster the economic and social transformation of local ecosystems.
