Shared Spatial Governance

The creation of culture and its preservation involves people. Sustaining culture and the corresponding memory of place is an act of collective governance. Our shared spatial governance initiative seeks to support and empower the people, communities and agencies who support cultural creation, cohesion and preservation.
