Title: Projektowanie protestu: przestrzeń publiczna (nie)przyjazna demonstracjom ulicznym

Abstract:

In the article, we raise questions about why and how street protests and other spatial protest tactics should be taken into account in the planning and designing of public space. In doing so, we present a dissenting voice to those politicians and actors in the production of urban space who would like to see protest spaces as unwanted, threatening, or simply hindering the sale of property due to “bothersome neighbours”.While the role of space in social movement studies has been extensively studied, its connection to design practice is seldom explored, except for a few notable instances. Our argument highlights the dual nature of street demonstrations, which must be acknowledged. On the one hand, assemblies are viewed as symbols of democracy, but on the other hand, they can also lead to destruction. This tension is reflected in two con-trasting approaches to design: one that facilitates street demonstrations in an urban setting and another that hinders them. In our text, we emphasize that protests are an inherent aspect of neoliberal democracy, and cities cannot ignore or disregard street demonstrations when designing public spaces.
