Based on thirty-five years of ethnographic research there is empirical evidence that public space contributes to a flourishing society through promoting social justice and democratic practices; informal work and social capital; play and creativity; cultural identity and place attachment; health and resilience; and ecological and environmental sustainability--even as it is threatened by urban
development, privatization and neglect.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Public spaces are vital to a healthy civic life. Even fleeting interactions in such places tend to expand people's horizons. Sidewalks, plazas, public parks, central squares, and public libraries all enhance public life in unique ways. Yet, as Setha Low details in Why Public Space Matters, we are losing public spaces to urban development and the belief that public spaces are expendable. Just as important is the broad and ongoing corporate privatization of public space. This book explores why public spaces are so vitally important today and what we can do about protecting these essential places. Artikel-Nr. 9780197543733
