There's a great quote in Vox's "Tony Hawk breaks down skateboarding’s legendary spots" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omigBsOmtjw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omigBsOmtjw) from Iain Borden, an architectural historian: "[...] I think what skateboarding's always been good at, is it tests our idea of what we want public space to be. Whether it's at the Southbank in London, the ledges at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, The Warschauer benches in Berlin, or a 25-foot stair set in Lyon... skateboarders, I think, are a constant reminder that our cities can be creative and rich places."
