Proměny veřejných prostranství

Abstract

In Czech towns and cities, public space has become a widely discussed topic, with growing social demand for high-quality public spaces. In spite of this, we still often see public spaces – both new and created by transformation of existing ones – that do not fulfil their purpose and lack sufficient quality, despite significant spending. Yet the successful functioning of a public space is the main indicator of its quality. Today, leading world theoreticians agree that public spaces need to be adapted to people visiting them, and should provide room for social activities.
