By closely examining its public spaces, we can decipher the social,
cultural and political life of a city. Public space is the arena
for individual and group expression; a forum for dialogue, debate,
and contestation; a space for conviviality, leisure, performance,
and display; a place for economic survival and refuge; a site for
the exchange of information and ideas; and a setting for nature.
Public space has concerned philosophers, political thinkers, social
scientists, legal scholars, planners, and architects and has also
intrigued writers, painters, musicians, film-makers, and other
artists. In this new four-volume collection from Routledge, Vikas
Mehta brings together the key literature that encompasses the
social and political issues in the making and experience of public
space. It addresses the complete ecology of public space and the
many interrelated issues. The set journeys the vast territory of
public space to compile a multidisciplinary selection of materials
that offer new as well as traditionally recognized principles of
understanding and the making of public space. Public Space is fully
indexed and includes comprehensive introductions, newly written by
the editor, which place the collected materials in their historical
and intellectual context. It is an essential reference collection
and is destined to be valued by scholars and students-as well as
policy-makers and practitioners-as a vital one-stop research and
pedagogic resource.
