PUBLIC SPACES: resources for the city or places of conflict?

Abstract

Public spaces, whether they be indoors or out, are an important part of cities. They are the places of everyday life that have, over time, undergone a phase of decline. Today, in fact, they are under used, unattractive, unsafe and reflect the state of health of urban centers and their inhabitants. This study investigates the quality of public spaces of some urban realities - national and international - which have become examples of sustainable urban regeneration, places of sociality and hospitality.
