Summary
This book presents in 15 articles a new perspective on public spaces in cities and in rural contexts. Public spaces are not only defined by their physical or geographical structure. They are defined by their functions as places, where people find together, where these people communicate with others, where the state ensure by its policy that people have an access to these places and their infrastructures and where these people have the chance to participate in the shape of public spaces and to influence in planning processes.
With this new perspective can we not only consider the urban places or places in villages. We can also consider other fields of a society like education, culture, media or sport, „kindergartens” and playgrounds for children. How can people have influence in planning processes of kindergartens and playgrounds; how can they participate in the shaping of public spaces by their creativity and their ideas and how changes this participation the urbanity of a city and the relationships to public spaces and the lifestyles und feelings in these spaces?
