> of public space. Mobile phones, surveillance systems and electronic barriers

> technology development and civic stakeholders? What are the emerging tactics
> and processes for public engagement? What are the opportunities for
> expression, intervention and participation? 'outside in' is a forum for
> involving new voices, media and practices in a discourse about the use of
> public space.
