Abstract

Today, the public "event" as a phenomenon has become a city-shaping element. Thinking about public spaces enjoys broad professional and non-professional interest: the public space, as an urban development driver, social phenomenon, or administrative issue; as a form of self-expression, ownership, and political problem; as a design question or even a fashion statement, prompts almost continuous engagement from the widest layers of society. The public space is something that never has a definitive and universally accepted definition, something that everyone can have their own opinion on, and something that is precisely what makes it a meeting place for academic fields and opinions, and an inexhaustible treasure trove.
