Full textAbstract:
Public transport is a contested political terrain and an arena of micro-political struggle: it is always kinopolitical. This reflection on the articles gathered in the special issue on Public Transport as Public Space discusses their connections to prior work in the field and what we can learn from these new studies of public transport as a public space, as a public sphere and as an atmospheric public constellation. It shows how the concept of mobile publics opened up new avenues for exploring the relation between public space and public spheres within the moving spaces of encounter of public transportation systems and their diverse passengers. Qualitative methodologies for the study of the flexible and contingent socialities of the mobile public realm have become especially relevant for the study of public transportation as a public space in which cosmopolitan or collective identities are in tension with alienation and atomisation.

Full textAbstract:
Introducing this special issue on public transport as public space, we discuss challenges in approaching public transport as public space and outline how incorporating approaches from different disciplines associated with urban studies is essential for this ambition. We offer an account of the multi-dimensional aspects of public transport as public space, including concepts of public space, questions of encounters and conviviality, linkages between micro- and macro-practices, regulations, discrepancies, conflicts and associated negative encounters, historicised experiences and political perspectives. We stress the need to expand existing perspectives on public space by embracing mobile spaces such as public transport. This entails scrutinising spaces inside public transport vehicles and stations as well as analysing the various ways across the sometimes physical and sometimes invisible barriers defined in written rules, separating public transport space from the remainder of the city’s public spaces, notably that of the street. Thus, the special issue: explores questions about the spatiality of publicness; attends to public space as a normative ideal; considers critical aspects of passengering as related to conviviality and contested encounters; and, addresses how the publicness of public transport is affected by modernisation, post-colonialism and urban politics. As we strongly feel that these questions require learning from across disciplines, the special issue includes contributions from diverse fields across the realm of urban studies and humanities alike.

Public space is critical for urban life to thrive. Yet, a global deficiency exists in available public space, particularly in the cities of the global south, but affecting cities in the global north as well. While much attention has been paid to upgrading existing public spaces, the thorny problem of retrofitting additional public spaces in existing urban fabrics has been under researched. Grounded in a review of the value and costs of public space, it is argued that there is no ‘ideal’ amount of public space that applies universally, and that public space supply should be allowed to change over time as urban and social conditions change. Public space suffers from a directionality problem in which adding public space is much harder than subtracting public space, such as through encroachment or sale of public land. Through a comparative case study approach, this paper responds to this problem by articulating the solution space to retrofit public spaces in existing neighbourhoods through five distinct pathways, namely ‘acupuncture’, ‘superimposition’, ‘marketplace’, ‘reblocking’ and ‘plot subdivision’. It explores the particular characteristics of each approach in varied urban contexts and provides a cross-cutting typology that connects practices across a global north and south context. The five pathways are offered as a practice-oriented typology to empower planners and policymakers to make more informed urban planning and design choices.

Full textAbstract:
The design of public space often embodies the power and political representation of a specific regime. As urban architecture symbolizes and establishes the identity of a regime, authorities often use a top-down approach to implement urban architectural programs. As a result, the spaces constructed often display power and identity, but lack consideration of public use. Public spaces are often exclusionary for public use. They merely stand for the representation of the authority. Accordingly, many public spaces built by the government are abandoned soon after their launch. Big ceremonies and public space displays only last a few days before these spaces are then closed to the public or appropriated for different uses. Most top-down approaches focus on the physical development, overlooking the users’ inclusion in decision making. This research analyses the political representation of public space design in RPTRA Bahari located in the South Jakarta. It analyses the political reason behind the development of RPTRA in Jakarta and the way participative design approach is employed during the design process to get public engagement in public space. Therefore, it investigates how the political representation is perceived in everyday life by analysing how the public space has been used three years since its launch. Through observation and interviews, this paper interrogates the political representation in urban forms and how public spaces become an arena where the government’s intentions and everyday uses meet. It concludes that a participative, bottom-up approach leads to more public use and engagement.

Full textAbstract:
This paper deals with one particular purpose for public space, the role it plays in permitting popular public participation in in democratic governance, democratic governance in a very political sense. For the United States, it might be called “First Amendment Space”, after the provision in the U.S.A. Constituting establishing the rights of free speech and free assembly. In a broader sense, public space should also be available democratically and based on equality of rights for a full range of social interchanges, for recreation, sports, picnicking, hiking, running, sitting, chatting, simply enjoyment, by all people, equally. Such uses, carried out democratically, are in turn necessary for democratic governance, but in a different way. Let me call them “Social Spaces”. And they may be divided between Convening spaces, where convening for the purposes of political effectiveness may be planned, and Encounter Spaces, where chance meetings and discussion may be take place without prior planning/convening. “Infrastructural Spaces” are also social spaces but in a different sense, not directly political: spaces for transportation, streets, sidewalks, recreational areas, parks, hiking trails, bicycles partially. he term “Third Space” is sometimes in fashion in a similar sense, and often defined as somewhere between public and private1. More on social spaces elsewhere. When public space is referred to here, it is in the sense of political public space, First Amendment space in the United States. Tahrir Square in Cairo, the Playa of Mothers in Buenos Aires, the Mall in Washington, D.C., Zuccotti Park in New York City, perhaps Central Park or Fifth Avenue, with its parades and marches, but also the fenced in space under the West Side highway at the time of the Republican Convention, and perhaps the indoor space of the Convention Center, as used for convening for discussions of alternate proposals for rebuilding after 9/11.

Full textAbstract:
While the concept of public space is frequently referenced, its definition is ambiguous. Current studies have attempted to clarify the definitions of public space. However, the supposed definitions of public space are usually contradictory upon further inspection. This article argues that epistemological assumptions are the main reason for these logical problems. The entity view, the preference for a real definition, and the concentration on “space in plan” should be changed. Inspired by Wittgenstein’s epistemology, this article proposes a framework for defining public space, which will help administrators flexibly and consistently identify the public nature of diverse semipublic spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Public spaces are an important part of cities as they contribute to improvements in liveability, environmental quality and sustainability. Despite these conditions of public spaces in cities in developing countries like India, are far from desirable in terms of quantity as well as quality. Though considerable research has been done on successful public open spaces to identify quality attributes/criteria and their evaluation in the context of developed countries, much of this has been primarily aimed at providing design guidelines/solutions. Besides, the role of proper management in ensuring quality and overall success of public spaces has also been assessed. However, not much research has been done in this regard in Indian context, where there is a considerable difference between the norms and provision of public spaces; the usage of public spaces and their quality from those in developed/rich countries This demands an in-depth understanding of the problems and issues surrounding public spaces, the criteria for quality in public spaces, and development of an evaluation framework, so that appropriate management strategies can be framed for their improvement. In view of the above, the study investigates public spaces in the context of three Indian cities and identifies the quality attributes/criteria based on a survey of users’ opinion and observational studies of selected public spaces. Further, a framework for the evaluation of the quality of public spaces employing the Public Space Quality Index (PSQI), has been developed and applied in selected public spaces. Using the above methodology, public spaces in a city with different performance levels, and factors responsible for the same can be identified, which can then become the basis for formulating appropriate management strategies for their improvement and comparing performances of public spaces in specific areas of a city/different cities to encourage competitiveness among cities to improve the quality of their public realm.

Since the Arab spring in 2011, public space and public art have been progressively central to urban planning and design literature. The recent social movements and reform discourse in the Sudanese cities exhibit that public space and public art have come to the fore in the civil uprising of December 2018 and its associated sit-in space. While many studies have examined public spaces in Khartoum, only a few have looked at them from the perspective of activism and public art. Yet, the post-2018 uprising has rendered these topics critical and compelling to researchers. This research reflects upon the transformation and events in the Khartoum sit-in space during the December uprising. Our article aims to document and analyse the public art and graffiti presented in the sit-in space in Khartoum. This research tries to answer two main questions: What role does public art and graffiti play in the revolution? Moreover, how does this role influence the quality of public space in general and the sit-in space in particular? The methodology used in this article includes direct observation, interviews, and follow-up of written and photographic material from the sit-in space and online and written resources. The results exhibited in this article show that public art and graffiti played five significant roles in the sit-in space. Public art also transformed the sit-in space aesthetics and the conception of public art and how it is produced and consumed.

The study investigated the using of privately-owned public space (POPS) in two gated communities in Medan, Indonesia. The activities of people during the weekend and the physical setting of the POPS were recorded through observation and visual survey. The research found that most of the visitors were not satisfied with the public open space, but they used it intensively. The study indicated that the better quality public open space was more livable compared to the poor quality. Since the visitors in the two public open spaces were mostly people who live outside the gated community, the private-owned public space contributed to public life.Keywords: privately-owned public space; gated community; Medan.eISSN 2398-4279 © 2017 The Authors.

Full textAbstract:
To understand the concept of public space within the African context, we need to unpack the terms ‘public’ and ‘space’. Public space can’t be seen in isolation from the action that takes place within the urban space, the everyday culture that influences public life. The opportunity lies in reviewing the idea of public space from a conventional meaning into one of understanding the fractions of space as co-produced, negotiated, and occupied places in constant change, driven by a continual process and not a desired end-product. In some instances, the fractional space is connected and creates a mesh or network of social infrastructure; in others, the spaces remain individual and active. The short essay offers a series of photo stories to reveal the concept of fractional urban space. The images illustrate a switch in foreground concepts versus the background realities and actions in urban spaces experienced in fragile neighbourhoods in Cape Town, South Africa. Four spatial frames are interpreted. Firstly, fractional space is described. Secondly, a space of practice remarks on a strategic, and transformative project as a lesson for incremental area-based development. Thirdly, a space of exchange, reveals the social function and production of space within an extraordinary and overlapping micro-space of the city. Fourthly, a space of learning, reframes a critical pedagogy of engaged teaching and learning beyond the academy, co-designed and situated in a ‘real’ public space project. The images offer reflections of fractional urban space in context.

The study explores how public spaces contribute to a city's core functions—economic, social, and political—through a conceptual framework that positions public spaces as central. However, focusing solely on these typologies may not fully address the complexities of contemporary cities. The framework is a starting point to discuss this correlation in a South Asian context.Drawing lessons from various public spaces in cities across the world, the research carries out an in-depth analysis of the public space of Raja Bazaar, a historical market in the centre of Rawalpindi city. Raja Bazaar is a shared street with pedestrian and vehicular movement, fulfilling its role as a trading centre for the city. It has a lot more potential in its unrecognized heritage, food industry, and local crafts which is currently lost in urban challenges. Urban mobility has recently dominated the public space, consequently, suppressing the social function of the street especially for the residents. The political functions and religious festivities still thrive with temporary pedestrianization, pop-up activity and space appropriation at particular times of the year. The study also finds the positive impact of community’s ownership of public spaces. However, even the community engagement and mobilization have limitations in the absence of well-functioning local governments–a major lesson learnt during the implementation of public space revitalization initiatives in Raja Bazar. Recognizing the complex nature of city functions and the diverse characterization of public spaces, the conceptual framework developed under this study needs further investigation through comparative analysis of its application in different neighbourhoods and regions.

Public spaces serve as the sensory system of urban life, and are crucial for interconnecting individuals, ideas, and cultures within the fabric of cities. This study provides a fresh interpretation of public spaces by examining people’s activities from a new perspective. By applying play theory to public space analysis, the study uncovers spontaneous and unplanned activities and the novel relationships which exist between users and their environments. In so doing it paves the way for a new approach to public space design. With a focus on Aachen as a place of play, this study seeks to develop urban design tools that take into account users’ leisure time activities. By recognizing the unique relationships that play can create between individuals and their surroundings in terms of perceptions, intentions, actions, and uses of space, the research encourages a fresh perspective on urban design tools. Ultimately, the findings of this study offer a new design approach for creating public spaces that are more participating, inclusive, and user-centred.

Saat ini banyak ruang terbuka publik yang fungsinya sudah dibangkitkan kembali oleh pihak penyelenggara, baik pihak pemerintah maupun pihak swasta. Secara fisik, keberadaan ruang terbuka publik kini dalam keadaan yang layak dan baik. Namun, pada ruang publik ini terlihat fasilitas ruang publik yang sangat sederhana dan jumlahnya pun terbatas. Penelitian ini disusun untuk melihat persepsi pengunjung pada kelengkapan fasilitas di ruang terbuka dengan tingkat kenyamanan pengunjungnya. Dengan menggunakan metode kuantitatif deskriptif, penelitian ini dilakukan dengan observasi kajian di ruang terbuka publik dan menyebarkan kuisioner kepada pengunjung. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa menurut pengunjung, mereka merasa nyaman ketika berada di ruang terbuka publik ini. Penelitian ini dapat bermanfaat untuk peningkatan perencanaan ruang terbuka publik di perumahan selanjutnya. ABSTRACTPublic open space is one of the spaces that should be in a housing complex. At present many public open spaces whose functions have been resurrected by the organizers, both the government and private parties. Physically, the existence of public open space is now in a decent and good condition. However, in this public space public facilities are very simple and the number is limited. This research is structured to see the perception of visitors on the completeness of facilities in open space with the level of comfort of visitors. By using descriptive quantitative methods, this research was conducted by observing studies in public open spaces and distributing questionnaires to visitors. The results of this study are that according to visitors, they feel comfortable when in this public open space. This research can be useful for improving public open space planning in the next housing complex.

Public space is a topic of great interest for urban scholars and urban planners. Such space, like parks, sidewalks, and plazas, it is argued, can provide the common grounds where the inhabitants of a city meet, exchange ideas, even engage in a variety of cultural performances. This article reports on fieldwork about the use of public space in Shanghai today. We find a great diversity of uses, ranging from vendors who sell their wares to people who engage in heated and extensive political discussions to performers of Beijing opera and ballroom dancing. We also find that the local authorities use a light, and sometimes covert, hand in their oversight of inhabitants in such spaces. Finally, we discover that powerful social differences and inequalities between native inhabitants and working–class migrants, which have emerged during the period of economic reform and market transition, are now actively in evidence in the quality and use of public space in Shanghai. the article puts these findings within a broader theoretical context, concluding in the end that for many—though not all—inhabitants public man is alive and well in Shanghai.

Threshold space in Cicendo Square is critical in facilitating accessibility and creating the impression of an excellent public open space. By considering entrances, transitions, and building access, threshold space design must consider various considerations, including openness in design, sequences, geometry, topography, distinctive material, and provision of appropriate furniture to improve the quality of open spaces public. Taking a case study of Alun-alun Cicendo (Steel Plaza) in Bandung City as its case study, this research has two objectives. The first is to analyze the role of threshold space as an intermediary space in creating accessibility and spatial impressions in public open spaces. The second is to identify and determine factors in designing an adequate threshold space to improve the quality of public open space. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis and interpretation. Research findings show that the analyzed parameters, namely delimitation, sequence, geometry, topography, materiality, and seating facilities, play an essential role in creating an adequate transitional space in Cicendo Square. In line with the dynamic of the existing functions and activities, these factors also contribute to creating attractive and high-quality public open spaces and increasing interest and public participation in using Cicendo Square.Keywords: threshold space; public open space AbstrakThreshold space di Alun-alun Cicendo memainkan peran kunci dalam memfasilitasi aksesibilitas dan menciptakan kesan ruang terbuka publik yang baik.

Pertama untuk menganalisis peran threshold space sebagai ruang perantara dalam menciptakan aksesibilitas dan kesan ruang pada ruang terbuka publik. Kedua, untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penentu dalam merancang threshold space yang efektif untuk meningkatkan kualitas ruang terbuka publik. Penelitian ini menerapkan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis deskriptif dan interpretasi. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa parameter-parameter yang dianalisis, yaitu delimitasi, sekuens, geometri, topografi, materialitas, dan sarana duduk, berperan penting dalam menciptakan ruang transisi yang efektif pada Alun-alun Cicendo. Beriringan dengan dinamika dari beragam fungsi dan aktivitas yang ada, faktor-faktor ini berkontribusi terhadap penciptaan ruang terbuka publik yang menarik dan berkualitas, dan peningkatan minat serta partisipasi masyarakat dalam menggunakan Alun-alun Cicendo.Kata kunci: threshold space; ruang terbuka publik

New words have found their way into the public sphere: we now commonly talk about “confinement”, “barrier-gesture” or “distancing”. The very idea of public space has been transformed: with restrictions on movement and interaction in public; with the reintegration of lives (certain lives) into the home (if there is one) and private space; with the publicization of private space through internet relationships; with the cities’ space occupied, during confinement, by so-called “essential” workers; with the restriction of gatherings and political demonstrations in public space. With these and other recent changes, it is imperative to revisit the concept of public space, which continues to be used as if it were self-evident, despite its profound transformation over the past few decades, in a process of realization and “literalization”. No longer just a comfortable metaphor for reasonable debates, public space has become a concrete reality in the 21th century. This transformation in the various phenomena, such as the occupation of squares and public spaces; the demand for spaces of conversation and expression for those without a voice; the transition of private matters into the public realm through verbal expression; and the expression and circulation of public issues within popular cultures. As a result, the question of public space is increasingly intertwined with that of private spaces, such as the home or individual subjectivities, forming an internal, logical relationship.

“Privatisation happens in many ways. [...] The fundamental characteristic of public space – its universal accessibility for all – is endangered by increasing control and surveillance.”I Social segregation also contributes to feudalisation, which is another attack on public space. Although no one is talking about it yet, the initial casualties of this feudalisation – due to increased restrictions and costs for accessing public spaces that must be purchased – will not only be fire brigades and other organisers of commercial and entertainment events, including festivities, but also, similar to the scarcity of production spaces, producers of cultural noise or non-profit events in the realm of independent and non-governmental arts and culture.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the meaning of public space and the problem of public reconstruction by means of sociological intervention through an experimental study of community formation and courtyard space rearrangement in the old neighborhood of Dashilar in Beijing. In the West, scholars regard public space as part of public life with political or social significance. In the courtyards of Dashilar, however, residents understand public space as important as a shared property of neighboring families that is separate from public life, as they are often acquainted with but alienated from one another. To grasp this different understanding of public space, this article first looks into the historical transformation of property rights in Dashilar. The courtyards in Dashilar have clearly been defined as state-owned urban space since the 1980s but have remained neglected in administration. Therefore, residents gradually encroached upon these courtyards that were owned by the state and divided them for private use. As this act of encroaching was rooted in the relationship between the state and the individual, the courtyards were not merely changed into privatized properties with specific functions, but became places for interactions between various actors. To reveal the complexity of these courtyards as public spaces, we discuss the expansion of private space by individuals in their daily life and the “public disturbances” initiated by temporary coalitions in space construction. This complexity of courtyards as public spaces can be well illustrated by two experiments of space rearrangement conducted in Dashilar. Both experiments introduced strong social interventions into space rearrangement: one attempted to rebuild social life in a courtyard, and the other worked on the public and private boundaries in a courtyard. The former experiment ended in failure while the latter was a success. The results of these two experiments tell us that public reconstruction is not just about rebuilding social interactions between people, but also about adjusting the state–individual relationship and establishing the rules of living together in public space.

Abstract: The study of the quality of public spaces in Alun-alun Kauman Semarang aims to determine the quality of Alun-alun Kauman Semarang through aspects of forming public space. The research methods used are qualitative through perception, quantitatively analyzed, and qualitatively concluded results. In addition to using theories regarding public space, the quality of public spaces, and city squares, the basics of the study are also strengthened by the opinions of experts in the field of architecture and urban design which are processed using the Delphi method. From this research study, several variables that shape the quality of public spaces in Alun-alun Kauman Semarang were obtained, including aspects of needs, rights, and meanings. The benchmark for determining the quality of public spaces is how far the level of responsibility to needs, the level of democraticity to rights, and the level of meaningfully. The conclusion of this study is that Alun-alun Kauman Semarang is a quality public space because the aspects that shape the quality of public space meet the sieve of responsibility, democraticity, and meaningfully.Keyword: Delphi method, Public space quality, Alun-alun Kauman SemarangAbstrak: Kajian kualitas ruang publik Alun-alun Kauman Semarang bertujuan mengetahui kualitas Alun-alun Kauman Semarang melalui aspek pembentuk ruang publik.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we start by jointly examining the shortcomings contained in the substantial definitions of publicity commonly applied to the analysis of both public spaces (physical) and public spheres (political). We propose instead to consider publicity as a potential and publicization as a process, observable both in urban spaces and in the media. Building on John Dewey, we argue that when this process reaches its logical end, it determines and brings together a problem, a place, a sphere and a group of people that it makes public. It also leads to mechanisms of political action that constitute the ends of public space. Using the example of New Orleans post Katrina, we illustrate this process by discussing three obstacles that often stall or reverse publicization processes, which we believe deserve further study. Finally, we ground the values on which the process of publicization rests on the shared experience of trouble in potentially public spaces. This pragmatists approach opens the door to the study of publicization processes and public spaces beyond western cultures, and suggests an empirical way to deepen and reassess liberal conceptions of public space.

Under extreme conditions, such as wars, pandemics, and climate events, the role of open space and public rituals alters dramatically. Extreme conditions remind us that daily life is fragile. What should dictate the development of public spaces? What does Covid-19 teach us about public space, its use and future design? Should planners and designers address the unexpected when designing public spaces? These questions are the departure point for discussing the social value and design of public space during both extreme conditions and calm times.

Abstrak_ Peningkatan permintaan masyarakat terhadap ruang publik berbasis tepi laut mendorong konsep desain tepi laut yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan pengunjung. Salah satu cara mengetahui desain ruang publik yang memenuhi kebutuhan pengunjung melalui pemahaman preferensi terhadap ruang publik. Berdasarkan permintaan tersebut, sejumlah ruang publik bermunculan di Parepare, salah satunya adalah Pantai Senggol. Ruang publik tepi laut atau tepi laut ini membangun dua ruang yang berbeda. Perbedaan ini memunculkan kondisi yang kontras yang membuat orang berpeluang untuk memilih satu ruang daripada lainnya. Perbedaan jumlah pengunjung yang signifikan dapat menimbulkan ketidakselarasan pada kedua ruang tersebut. Alhasil, kawasan Pantai Senggol ini dapat tidak optimal. Dengan demikian ruang publik jelas memerlukan pemahaman terhadap kebutuhan-kebutuhan pengunjung melalui pemahaman preferensi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis aspek-aspek ruang yang mendasari pemilihan ruang di tepi laut. Metode penelitian ini adalah campuran. Sementara, desain penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional dengan menggunakan crosstab dan analisis gambar biplot. Melalui survei kuesioner, responden yang terdiri dari 85 orang diminta untuk memilih satu diantara dua ruang yang sangat disukai, beserta alasan menyukai ruang tersebut berdasarkan aspek ruang. Hasilnya menunjukkan 66% responden menyukai ruang A dan 34% menyukai ruang B. Alasan kebanyakan responden adalah berkaitan dengan aspek fasilitas. Sehingga, desain yang tersedia pada ruang B tidak memenuhi preferensi dan kebutuhan kebanyakan pengunjung.

Abstract_ The increasing of people’s demand on waterfront public space has motivated the waterfront concept that meet the visitor needs. One way to know public space design has met visitor needs is from understanding the preference on public space. Because of those demands, few spaces have emerged in Parepare, one of them is Senggol Beach. Waterfront public space has developed into two distinct spaces. This distinction create a contrast condition which enables people to pick one of the space between them. The huge difference in visitor number potentially creates unbalance to both of spaces. Therefore, Senggol Beach would not be optimal. In this case, public space clearly require the understanding of visitor needs through understanding of their preference. The purpose of this study is to analyze the space aspect which underlying the choice of space in the waterfront. This research method is mixed-method. While, this research design is cross-sectional using cross tabulation and biplot image analysis. Through questionnaire survey, respondents which consist of 85 people were asked to choose one of the spaces which they liked, including their reason to like it according to space aspects. The result shows that 66% respondents like A space and 35% like B space. The reason of many respondents is regarding facilities aspect. Therefore, available designs in B space does not satisfy most respondent’s preference.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the structure of public space. Public space is characterized from the point of view of scale and from the point of view of the spheres of communicative ties. Interactions in terms of scale take place in the public space of the world, continental, national, regional, local, in terms of the spheres of reflection of communicative relations - in the urban, extraurban, Internet environment. Public space is considered to be a vast system, not limited to the urban environment, which includes in terms of spheres of expression such segments as political, cultural, economic, ethnic space. Political space is at the top of this system. The political actors coordinate people’s interactions in the economic, cultural and ethnic space. At the same time, interactions in the economic, cultural, ethnic space can influence events and processes in the political environment. An element of cultural space is the media. Mass media improves interactive communication with the audience, but not all messages disseminated by journalists become part of the public space, unless readers, viewers, listeners participate in the discussion of topical topics. Both constructive discussions reflecting different viewpoints and simulated discussions that do not represent the plurality of opinions of free citizens are common in public spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Lusaka, a city of around three million people, faces massive urban growth challenges. Designed on the Garden City planning paradigm principles, the city currently lacks open public recreational spaces. The lack of public space is often linked to the high land value alongside the high demand for housing, the lack of national government prioritization of public space provision policies, and a general lack of financial resources available to Lusaka's local council.This article explores the state of formal public spaces in Lusaka, its urban history, development patterns, and the effects of these factors on everyday life and social interactions. It also outlines different private sector attempts to make up for the lack of public spaces through the provision of private green spaces (e.g., green private entertainment centres, private play parks, private back yards, and front yards) and the commercial units and malls that cover some public space functions. It asks questions on where kids play (e.g., private play parks, mall play parks, etc.) and highlights the design elements preventing streets from becoming lively public spaces (e.g., walls and roads).The article also examines Lusaka's plans for creating green and open spaces networks inside the city and their applicability. It studies public space provision plans in Lusaka's Development Plan 2030 and older public space provision attempts. It highlights the urgency and the importance of taking serious steps towards public space provision in the city now. The article used field research, mapping, desktop research, and interviews.

Abstract: Public space is one of the important components in urban spatial planning. Every city in Indonesia is required to provide 20% public space and this has been stated in the existing legislation in Indonesia. The existence of public space itself has always been a serious discussion agenda for the central and regional governments, this is because public space has always been the target of all elements of society. The development of this square is generally carried out to realize Lamongan as an environmentally friendly city. This article uses descriptive research methods. The square must have a role that can accommodate the needs of the community for all the functions of public open spaces. Don't just focus on one running function. If viewed from the function of the square as a public open space, then the square should have a social function and an ecological function. As a manifestation of the fulfillment of the requirements for the creation of public spaces in accordance with the national development standards, the Lamongan government has made efforts to build open spaces that are pro-public.

People-Centred Public Spaces are attentive to the needs of communities, democratic, and responsive to the spatial environment of cities. Public space is a key component for cities in sustaining a viable people-centred public realm. This article provides an insight into the legislative framework that influenced the expression of public space on the spatial footprint of South African cities. Whilst Legislation does provide an enabling framework for spatial development including that of public spaces, in the South African Context there are contrasting examples of spatial development due to the impact of Apartheid-Related legislation. This article delves further into the impact of legislation that enforced physical separation of race groups on the development of people-centred public space as well the transition to developmental Local Government.

Full textAbstract:
This study concerns the struggle for Philadelphia's LOVE Park, which involved the general public and its functionaries on one side and skateboarders on the other. This paper argues LOVE Park was one place composed of two distinct spaces: the public space the public engendered and the common space the skateboarders produced. This case demonstrates that public and common space must be understood as distinct, for they entail different understandings of publicly accessible space. Additionally, public and common spaces often exist simultaneously as “public–common spaces,” which emphasizes how they reciprocally shape one another. This sheds light on the emergence of “anti–common public space,” which is evident in LOVE Park's 2016 redesign. This concept considers how common spaces are increasingly negated in public spaces. The introduction of common space to the study of public spaces is significant as it allows for more nuanced understandings of transformations in the urban landscape.
