In both the UK and the US there is a sense of dissatisfaction and
pessimism about the state of urban environments, particularly with
the quality of everyday public spaces. Explanations for this have
emphasized the poor quality of design that characterizes many new
public spaces; spaces that are dominated by parking, roads
infrastructure, introspective buildings, a lack of enclosure and a
poor sense of place, and which in different ways for different
groups are too often exclusionary. Yet many well designed public
spaces have also experienced decline and neglect, as the services
and activities upon which the continuing quality of those spaces
have been subject to the same constraints and pressures for change
as public services in general. These issues touch upon the daily
management of public space, that is, the coordination of the many
different activities that constantly define and redefine the
characteristics and quality of public space. This book draws on
three empirical projects to examine the questions of public space
management on an international stage. They are set within a context
of theoretical debates about public space, its history,
contemporary patterns of use and changing nature in western
society, and about the new management approaches that are
increasingly being adopted.
