 Public space and urban life quality

    by:
  • Ioana Alexandra Florea


The article offers a critical perspective upon the dominant discourses about public space, community and urban regeneration, in contemporary Romanian urban contexts and intervention projects. It draws its content from two exemplar case studies of social field research: two urban interventions meant at improving the public space, in two different disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Bucharest. It illustrates the problems, good practices and social traps involved in the two cases. The concluding policy recommendation is the shift towards the principles of integrated urban development and of the “new urbanism”.

Keywords: public space, new urbanism, community, symbolic meaning, perverse effects
