Kurzfassung:
'Why Public Space Matters' examines how public space contributes to individual and societal flourishing. Based on thirty-five years of ethnographic fieldwork on plazas, walkways, parks, markets and beaches in the United States, Costa Rica, Argentina, India, Kenya and France, it presents a new understanding of the role of social contact, public culture and affective atmosphere in the creation of places essential to everyday urban life.
