Public space as a political space of social representation; publicly owned space with unrestricted use, access and enjoyment; space synonymous with free space; space as the city’s structure and the foundations for everyday life; space for memory and literary construction... The construction of a public space, whether physical-spatial, social, cultural, literary or political, is rooted in the peculiarities and singularities of each culture and geography. And even in this ever globalised world, public space, although apparently uniform, has its peculiarities and singularities.
