Recent global appropriations of public spaces through urban
activism, public uprising, and political protest have brought back
democratic values, beliefs, and practices that have been
historically associated with cities. Given the aggressive
commodification of public re- sources, public space is critically
important due to its capacity to enable forms of public dis- course
and social practice which are fundamental for the well-being of
democratic societies. Public Space Reader brings together public
space scholarship by a cross-disciplinary group of academics and
specialists whose essays consider fundamental questions: What is
public space and how does it manifest larger cultural, social, and
political processes? How are public spaces designed, socially and
materially produced, and managed? How does this impact the nature
and character of public experience? What roles does it play in the
struggles for the just city, and the Right to The City? What
critical participatory approaches can be employed to create
inclusive public spaces that respond to the diverse needs, desires,
and aspirations of individuals and communities alike? What are the
critical global and comparative perspectives on public space that
can enable further scholarly and professional work? And, what are
the futures of public space in the face of global pandemics, such
as COVID-19? The readers of this volume will be rewarded with an
impressive array of perspectives that are bound to expand critical
understanding of public space.
