Collective Value Spontaneous City can’t be successful without

Public value is what is important for everybody on long term. It is understood by everybody, and must be accessible to everybody It entails: public space, landscape, nature, cultural heritage and more It is more holistic, some values are not measurable. Value is never only intrinsic, it derives from what we value. Public value is site-specific Public value can also produce financial value.
