This volume is about the plurality and complexity of modern urban
public spaces. The authors move far beyond the nostalgia of
traditional streets, squares and gardens to mobilize contemporary
sociological knowledge based on the mediated relations between
spatial morphology and everyday life in cities across several
continents. Contributions analyse diverse social realities and
social interventions within the context of urban public spaces,
linking to the broader discussion of urban public policies in
European cities and beyond. Sometimes these interventions lead to
exclusionary processes; other times they are the object of
conflicts and resistances. When we speak about the
(re)constructions, the uses and counter-uses of urban public
spaces, we are always in the core of the political (city: polis)
domain as those places are not fixed and do not have unique
representations or immutable configurations - they are networks of
relationships and social practices with antagonistic views and
flexible uses.
