Kazys Varnelis recently sat down with Cassim Shepard of Urban Omnibus to discuss how the New City Reader came to be and how it seeks to renew awareness of overlooked spatial and social practices in the context of current affairs.

UO-"What does it mean to you that the New City Reader is “a newspaper of public space”?
KV-I think the idea has to do with the overlapping of different aspects of public space and the public sphere. For Habermas, whether it was the salon or the coffee house, the street or the city itself was a public space, and the public sphere required places where people read and discuss the things that they read.
