Het publieke domein. Over de sociale constructie van openbare ruimte

Samenvatting

The Public Domain. The Social Construction of Public Space. The development of urban life in advanced capitalist societies led to urban sociology's increased interest in the use of public space. In competing for private investment, cities advertise the quality of their public space and facilities. The notion of public space emerged with the rise of the bourgeoisie in the cities of late medieval Europe; however, each epoch has created its own public space. In a modern city the public realm combines elements of various historical concepts. 46 References. Adapted from the source document.
