Consider:
What makes a great (or alternately overrated, misunderstood or problematic) public space? There is a wide range of public spaces, of various sizes and uses, and of varying mixes of public and private use, ownership, control, access. I look forward to seeing a wide variety of images and places (and not just the predictable ones). Identify good public spaces in unusual locations, such as in low density suburbs or poor neighborhoods, or in reclaimed spaces.

Zhongshan park in Wuhan.

The park is located in the center of the city, providing citizens with 320,000 square kilometers ground of greenery and entertainment. Surrounded by high density of mixed-used land, Zhongshan park is not at all affected by the modern buildings. With all the traditional Chinese landscape it seems to have the power to calm you down from impetuous city life.

There is a corner in the park that has been very busy these recent years. The corner is used as a certain kind of information center, so you can always see people there chatting and taking notes. The picture with a lot of people shows an ordinary day of that corner.
