From this topics different questions emerge:
• What is the meaning of public space in
terms of interdisciplinarity?
• Different approaches, disciplines,
locations (Santiago - Hong Kong - Berlin)

• How can we use an interdisciplinary
approach to address public space as an
inclusion strategy in Santiago?
• How can we understand
Interdisciplinarity in the context of Urban
Lab?
