"It is in cities where it is still possible for public space to work as a place of meeting and contact, indispensable for mutual recognition, which is the basis for any form of truly possible coexistance."
In favor of public space
@4 months ago"…Draw attention to the role of concrete projects and propositions as transitional objects within a public discussion: objects taht gather different forms of knowledge; that can be qualified and move the discussion in a qualitative direction; that can e contested and begin to articulate meaningful differences; that bear witness to hidden socio-technical processes; and that speak about a world which otherwise remains invisible."

"Within the context of the modern metropolis, we have already witnessed the loosening of the relationship between public space and the public sphere."

"Rarely does a resident of any of the world’s greatest metropolitan areas pause to consider the complexity of urban life or the myriad systems that operate round the clock to support it. He or she wakes up in the morning to turn on a tap, switch on a light, flush a toilet or perhaps grab a banana—-little knowing how much effort, on the part of how many people, goes in to making the simplest morning routine possible. …. Even the most mundane domestic tasks would be impossible without the far-reaching complex, and often invisible network of infrastructure that supports them."
