With cities continuing to grow, and issues of duration, capital, density, resources and boundaries all in contestation, it is necessary to consider the question of scale and the merits of top down versus bottom up planning. A small- scale but socially catalytic interventions (City Acupuncture), tailored for the particular environment and community for which they are created and designed to solve local particular issues may cause positive ripple effects. In this way they are best adapted for creative solutions and design, to respond to and influences the context in which it forms part. Moreover at this level it is possible to create stronger sense of community engagement. We believe that public space is not derived from solid walls or floors but is rather a solution for complicated equations in which variables are real users and a result is rather an event or process than a building/place.
