This book explores how public spaces--such as streets, squares, parks, and shared urban environments--are designed and experienced and why they remain a vital but often overlooked part of urban design. Although the idea of the public realm has been central to cities for decades, there is still no clear or widely shared understanding of what it means or how it should be shaped in practice. Many of the key theories that continue to influence the field were developed between the 1960s and 1980s and no longer fully reflect today's social, environmental, and technological realities.
