August 2007: Urban Public Space

The public space of a city encompasses functional and symbolic values which represent the place cultural identity. Its administration instruments, maintenance and use are part of the local administration work to promote these values and to maintain the urban character of the daily life.

A series of public space revitalisation projects developed in the last years in European cities were awarded by prestigious institutions and can be found on the website:
