PUBLIC SPACE?
decline of public space
“The urbanistic project confronts varying briefs in which the idea of “integration” between infrastructure and city, between public and communal spaces, between architecture and services, becomes the fundamental concept.” Joan Busquets, Urbanism at the turn of the century, 2000
“What is critical in our society is that cities are structured and restructured simultaneously by the competing logics of the ‘Space of Flows’ and the ‘Space of and Places.’”
Manuel Castells, Local and global: Cities in the Network Society 1, 2001
