PUBLIC SPACES

• The Charter of Public Space defines Public Spaces as “all places publicly
owned or of public use, accessible and enjoyable by all for free and without a
profit motive”. This definition favours public ownership because “such
ownership guarantees more stable access and enjoyment over time. The
charter further distinguishes between four typologies of public spaces:
a) streets, b) open public spaces, c) public facilities and d) markets.
• Other spaces of public use such as transport interchanges, sports grounds and
recreational facilities can be either open or inside buildings. Streets or
sidewalks can be considered as more ubiquitous and flexible public spaces
that have to exist to promote mobility.
