  • A Return to the Town Square
    2017 INTERNATIONAL MAKING CITIES LIVABLE CONFERENCE A Return to the Town Square Stephanie Rouse June 6, 2017 The town square was an integral city function for centuries throughout the world. It was the central hub of activity, a place for gathering to celebrate, receive information, conduct business, and to simply sit. They have changed over time, losing prominence in recent decades with attitudes changing about society and how we interact. Before technology took off and created an environment that allowed for information at your fingertips, individuals gathered in town squares to share information, discuss politics, and transact business. It has since become a barrier to genuine interaction. Most engagement today is done through social media, email, and video chats. While these forms of communication can be useful when working in a global economy, we cannot forget the value derived from speaking in person. The classic town square can be reimagined to function as it used to, to bring people together to interact face to face and create an educated and active society. We can use the town square as an inviting place that allows people to gather to celebrate, conduct business, and engage in discussion. We may not need the town square to disseminate information, but it can still give us the environment to interact face to face again. There is a way to bring back the historic town square to build on the original values in the new era of design and information. 2 | Page A Return to the Town Square by Stephanie Rouse Most town squares in the United States are a piece of art, rather than a fully functioning space.

  • MICROSTATES of EUROPE San Marino, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, Vatican City & Luxembourg 20 Days Created On: 1 Oct, 2021
    Tour Code MCMS MICROSTATES OF EUROPE San Marino, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, Vatican City & Luxembourg 20 days Created on: 1 Oct, 2021 Day 1 Arrival in Rome Today we arrive in Rome and transfer to our hotel. There are few cities in the world as beautiful as Rome, and few are as glamorous. With an artistic heritage dating back to Etruscan times, Rome is one of the world’s great art cities. Throughout history, it has played a starring role in the major upheavals of Western art and the results are here for us to see -- breathtaking baroque churches, stunning Renaissance frescoes and amazing classical statues. Overnight in Rome. Included Meal(s): Dinner, if required. Day 2 Rome: City Sightseeing Rome is the true 'Eternal City', and it boasts one grand tourist attraction after another. For any traveller the memories of a visit to the Roman Forum and the Colosseum will last forever. This ancient city has two focal points: the Colosseum to the east, and the Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill) to the west. In between lie the Forums. Rome is best explored on foot, and today we will experience many of the impressive sights on offer. Our grand tour will of course include a visit to the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. Though it's only a shell of its former glory, the Colosseum remains the greatest architectural heritage from ancient Rome. It was here in this massive structure, capable of holding 80,000 people, that the fabled and bloody gladiatorial combats took place. The ancient Roman Forum was the political and commercial center of Rome when Rome was at its greatest power.
