About this ebook
""Public Spaces"" examines the vital role of parks, plazas, and pedestrian areas in shaping urban life, fostering social interaction, and enhancing community development. It highlights how well-designed public spaces contribute to social cohesion, public health, and economic vitality, transforming our urban experiences. The book argues that these spaces are essential urban infrastructure, not merely aesthetic amenities, and explores the historical evolution from ancient forums to modern urban parks.
Intriguingly, access to green spaces has been linked to improved mental well-being, and public spaces can stimulate local economies. The book takes a holistic approach, integrating design principles with social and economic analysis. It begins by introducing core concepts like ""place-making"" and ""urban morphology"" before delving into design elements such as accessibility and safety. It then explores social dynamics, focusing on how public spaces promote civic engagement. The book concludes by demonstrating how these principles can be applied in diverse urban contexts to create inclusive and sustainable cities, drawing from case studies, empirical research, and expert interviews.
