Public spaces allow people to meet on ostensibly neutral ground,
within the context of the whole community. Social interactions in
urban public places draws on a unique study of nine public spaces
within one English town viewed across a whole year, carried out by
a large team of local observers working alongside academics. The
report describes the use of green spaces, commercial and civic
spaces, and local neighbourhoods; investigates interactivity within
and between people of different age groups; highlights
self-regulation as an essential element of the management of public
spaces; considers the role of reputation in perceptions of
particular places and discusses public involvement in regeneration
and the democratising role of public places. Good quality public
spaces are integral to 'Cleaner, Safer, Greener', 'Sustainable
Communities' and 'Community Cohesion' policies. Yet many public
spaces are subject to competition between different users, of
different ages, with conflicting ideas about their appropriate use.
The study will be of interest to policy makers, practitioners and
academics concerned with public space, community cohesion,
community involvement, and intergenerational relationships, and
anyone interested in the social life of towns.
