The Field Guide to Digital and/as Public Space

The Bentway works to ignite the urban imagination, using the city as site, subject, and canvas. Anchored under Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway and guiding its complex future, The Bentway is a growing public space, and much more. It is a new type of civic organization: an independent charity and a not-for-profit, powered by vital partnerships with the City of Toronto, residents, supporters, artists, creatives, city-builders, and dreamers. The Bentway is a catalyst rooted in experimentation, demonstration, and regeneration; leading a creative movement to re-imagine the opportunities of urban spaces.Since Phase 1 of The Bentway – under the Gardiner from Strachan Ave to Fort York Blvd – opened in 2018, it has proven to be a vital public space, backyard park, cultural platform, connector for the western Waterfront corridor and a demonstration of what is possible. In partnership with the City of Toronto, The Bentway is creating a network of public spaces, developing a cohesive vision for wayfinding and reconnecting the waterfront to the downtown core.Visit thebentway.ca and follow @thebentway on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram for details about upcoming programming and projects.www.thebentway.ca

The Field Guide to Digital and/as Public Space is a living document, designed to be rearranged, remixed, and expanded. It provides cues for situating oneself among the possibilities and affordances of digital techniques, so that we can sense the potential of what could be, not chart what already is.Tune in to a live discussion on YouTube on November 30. You can also join in on the collective sensemaking using our Miro board – where we’ll continue to arrange new connections, constructing this field together.
