The last 10 years have not only seen the rediscovery of public space in the arenas of policy-making and design, they have also witnessed an intensification of the debate about the significance of public space for urban society. "In Search of the New Public Domain" offers a cultural perspective that places current debates about public space into the context of recent social and spatial developments, such as the expansion of the urban environment and the creation of the network city. Through theoretical discussions and analyses of practical problems, this publication offers insight and an essential background for professionals who are involved in the task of designing public spaces, a diverse group which includes not just architects and urban planners but also many governmental bodies, organizations, and companies.
