European cities are changing rapidly in part due to the process of
de-industrialization, European integration and economic
globalization. Within those cities public spaces are the meeting
place of politics and culture, social and individual territories,
instrumental and expressive concerns. Public Space and the
Challenges of Urban Transformation in Europe investigates how
European city authorities understand and deal with their public
spaces, how this interacts with market forces, social norms and
cultural expectations, whether and how this relates to the needs
and experiences of their citizens, exploring new strategies and
innovative practices for strengthening public spaces and urban
culture. These questions are explored by looking at 13 case studies
from across Europe, written by active scholars in the area of
public space and organized in three parts: strategies, plans and
policies multiple roles of public space and everyday life in the
city. This book is essential reading for students and scholars
interested in the design and development of public space. The
European case studies provide interesting examples and comparisons
of how cities deal with their public space and issues of space and
society.
