GEOG 26800 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Public Space, Street Furniture
Document Summary
Use fences and paths, create yards and the sense that people have their own space. Eliminate long hallways by putting multiple entrances into a complex and then restricting interna; access. Mitchell public space: order is what happens when everybody is known and all movements are predictable. There is no free use of public space: public space is used as a space for justice movements, but that itself is disorderly. Plus planning stages happen in private spaces typically: a perfect space would be one in which people can enjoy free use and the spectacle of public places while maintaining safety and order. This is fully impossible: the homeless may not have other spaces to move to. Crouch streets: street is a broken up series of what is on it. It"s different in each neighborhood and has the characterization of the neighborhood: the buildings have more meaning than just their physical space.
