Public Space: notes on why it matters, what we should know, and how
to realize its potential journeys a vast territory and presents a
panoramic view of public space-an understanding from numerous
disciplines-under one cover in an incisive and concise manner. As a
dialogue between the social-political and the material-physical,
the book brings together the key ideas that encompass the social,
political, and physical issues in the making and experience of
public space. The book is at the same time a primer and a
progressive text. It makes the case for public space, digs deep
into understanding what public space is, followed by three sections
that present the inherent paradoxes, the possibilities, and
propositions for a more meaningful public space. The book presents
ideas in concise and approachable ways-from established tenets to
new propositions-that are constructive and thought-provoking, with
many that will challenge the reader's preconceived notions.
Students and scholars in the built environment disciplines and
social sciences, public space managers, public and private sector
practitioners, and civic leaders, but also residents who want to
better understand and make an impact in their communities and
cities will find Public Space to be a valuable resource.
