The Street Belongs to All of…China

The global tour of The Street Belongs to All of Us is on its way to China! The grand opening ceremony of The Street Belongs to All of Us was held at Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art on March 21. Photography and video works from over 30 artists and artist groups at home and abroad will be on
display. The exhibition will tour to Beijing, Guangzhou, and Chongqing after the Shanghai show in Zendai Museum ends on April 6.

The project is an international tour exhibition concerning street space in cities, co-launched by the Institute for the City on Move (IVM) and Urban China Magazine and aimed at arousing public awareness on various problems of streets in cities.

The battle for the street

The rise of urban mobility, the growing demand for public spaces, the increasing diversity and speed of transport methods has created new needs and made relations in the street more difficult.

Inventing new solutions

In order to manage these conflicts of use, transit, access, or coexistence as effectively as possible,

it is sometimes necessary to separate functions and demarcate spaces. There are other solutions that unite more and divide less and which connect the different scales rather than isolating them.

Finding and negotiating compromises

The new solutions are not just a technical fix. They require the issues to be debated, and the interests of different stakeholders and users to be taken into account. In other words, they entail and require a genuine form of street governance.

Acting in full possession of the facts

The exhibition presents multiple experiences and case studies, contradictory viewpoints, as a springboard for ideas about new ways of sharing the street and organizing the city.

For there is never just one right solution, but rather solutions that match situations, specific and local context-cultural, environmental, social, economic, political and historical.
