The fight for public space

From Morocco's Jemaa el-Fna to Nepal's Tundikhel, people are raising their voices.

Public spaces are becoming scarce everywhere in the world, especially in megacities and economic hubs. Kathmandu is not so different. Tundikhel is a prime example of the public being expelled from a public space. Now people are raising their voices to reclaim it. We can look at the success stories of similar cases in other countries, this time not from the developed world, but from a country similar to ours—Morocco. The country has its own social, economic and political problems of cheap labour, unemployment and poverty.
