Inhaltsangabe

Based on thirty-five years of ethnographic research there is empirical evidence that public space contributes to a flourishing society through promoting social justice and democratic practices; informal work and social capital; play and creativity; cultural identity and place attachment; health and resilience; and ecological and environmental sustainability--even as it is threatened by urban
development, privatization and neglect.
