The role of public space has changed throughout history; the profound changes our cities have undergone during the industrial and technological revolution have modified the way people access and engage in the public domains (Gehl, 2010). The introduction of motorized vehicles and mass consumption commercial centres challenged the traditional view of publics and new types of public spaces in time have emerged. More recently, at the outset of the digital revolution, some analysts predicted THE JOURNAL OF PUBLIC SPACE THE JOURNAL that information technology would have sanctioned the death of public place, but the introduction of mobile technologies is instead fostering a renaissance of social public spaces (Foth, 2011). The way citizens relate to the public dominion has also deeply changed in recent decades with more and more bottom-up, pop-up and temporary interventions taking place in the public realms (Caldwell & Guaralda, 2016). Public space is still the centre of the contemporary social life; its forms and types have evolved in time and today we are facing with a variety, complexity and richness in public spaces rarely experienced in the past. The traditional role of the square as gathering and social place has evolved in a multitude of location, uses and interactions. Streets, parks, commercial centres, cultural precincts, techno-parks, libraries, but also infrastructures, stations or parking lot today accommodate publics in different ways. What in the 1990s was labelled as a ‘non-place’ (Auge, 1995) today has resulted in a ‘new-place’. The discourse about public spaces is generally dominated by exempla coming mainly from Europe and North America, where in the 1960s and 1970s main theories about use and navigation of the built environment have been developed (Arefi, 2004). If on one side cases from these cultural areas are more accessible, on the other side interesting and relevant experiences are today developed all over the world, starting with the innovative and highly socially relevant intervention in South American cities. New types of public spaces are also emerging in the Asia-Pacific region, due to the digital revolution, or in Africa, in consideration of the massive urbanisation this continent is undergoing. ISSN 2206-9658 | 1 © Queensland University of Technology Editorial Whilst there are several dedicated publications to cities, urban morphologies, urban dynamics and urban design, a forum where to discuss and share research, experiences and projects about public space so far was not provided in a structured and clear way. The Journal of Public Space aims to be the first international, open access journal, integrally dedicated to the discussion of public space in all its different forms and incantations. The objective is to provide a platform where academics and practitioners can share ideas and debate publics breaking traditional disciplinary boundaries. We are willing to engage also artists, to provide a different point of view. The Journal of Public Space, as a true public space, is meant to be an inclusive forum where people from different backgrounds can present their work and access other people’s experiences. This is possible through the use of an open access platform (Open Journal System), where authors publish their work and readers can download articles without the payment of any fees. The open access platform could be also used to comment articles and to send requests to authors and editors. Nowadays academic knowledge is often not easily accessible; most of the leading journals require a subscription fee to access contents. Universities, institutions or individual researchers have often to deal with the substantial cost of knowledge in the form of fees to publishers, not only to be able to read contents, but in some cases even to have one’s research reviewed and published. Publish or perish, they say, but how? A recent on line petition “The Cost of Knowledge”, signed by more than 15.000 researchers, is discussing the way knowledge is produced and disseminate in academia. Some illegal actions - like Sci-Hub, the first pirate website in the world to provide mass and public access to tens of millions of research papers - are standing against commercial enterprises.

  • What Is “Creative Placemaking”?

    What Is “Creative Placemaking”?

    What is “Creative Placemaking”? The term “creative placemaking” is used commonly in community development and city/urban planning. But what does it really mean? How will you know it when you see it? Creative Placemaking is generally understood as the use of arts and culture by diverse partners to strategically shape the physical and social character of a place in order to spur economic development, promote enduring social change and improve the physical environment.1 1. Use of arts and culture. This could involve a painter, musician, sculptor, historian, architect – or any other expression of “arts and culture”. The project could be many things including a mural, a street carnival, busker musicians on a street corner, or a public art sculpture about the place’s history. Artists are involved in the planning, execution and activity. 2. Diverse partners. Contributors to projects might include neighborhood residents, businesses, non-profits, churches, government agencies, etc. Diverse partners who invest time, talent and/or financial support will strengthen the project and take greater ownership in its maintenance and stewardship long-term. 3. Shape a place. The combination of arts, culture, and diverse partners can convert an under-utilized place and make it something useful, safe, beautiful and vibrant. 4. To spur, promote and improve. Whether the project is big or small, low-budget or very expensive, successful creative placemaking projects attract people. People want to be near other people. Places that attract people also attract new

    Public Space Essential Infrastructure for a Healthy, Happy City

    PUBLIC SPACE ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A HEALTHY, HAPPY CITY Vanessa Trowell , Advocacy Manager Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) [email protected] Public space defines a city. It is where we meet, celebrate, gather, play, stay active, and travel. Public spaces are our shared living places. The importance of public space is inherently connected to the importance of the ‘public’. The provision of accessible public space is critical not only to the life of our cities, but more importantly to a tolerant, diverse and inclusive society. The challenge is to ensure or to increase the ‘publicness’ of public space, as the elements of a city that promote shared meaning, sense of community and democracy. Through the use of public space, society benefits through increased interaction of a diversity of people, which in turn encourages greater social cohesion and promotes a sense of identity. Olmsted’s notion of public space as being a “social safety-valve” resonates strongly nearly 150 years after Central Park, New York was envisioned. Whilst we cannot be as naïve to think that public space can be completely inclusive, due to a complexity of issues including age, gender, socio-economic status and culture, there exists a notion of a universal public realm, at least in principle. It reflects a democratic notion of accessibility to and provision of, a resource available across society. Public space makes up at least 40% of urban environments and forms a spectrum that extends from the front door to streets, parks, open space, plazas, waterfronts, pedestrian and cycle paths and public transport infrastructure.

Much of the daily routine of District residents, workers, and visitors takes place in settings like these. This is where we walk to school, wait for the bus, talk to neighbors, walk the dog, window shop, or sit outside in a café to drink a cup of coffee. Having such an extensive network of public space enhances the quality of life for our residents and visitors, and ensures that the city has the foundation to become a more walkable and sustainable city. The District’s public space is a valuable asset worthy of our stewardship and - with the help of all residents and property owners – is one if the unique features that makes our city great. The Guide to the District of Columbia’s Public Space Regulations is a resource for learning about the importance of the District’s public space, the regulations that guide its use and form, and the rationale behind them. Property owners are required to maintain the public space adjacent to their property, so it is important that these ideas are understood clearly. Beginning with the L’Enfant Plan and continuing to today, Washington, DC has a notable history of using public space to define the city and give character and grace to neighborhoods.

    You Are Not Welcome Among Us: Pirates and the State

    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 890–908 1932–8036/20150005 You Are Not Welcome Among Us: Pirates and the State JESSICA L. BEYER University of Washington, USA FENWICK MCKELVEY1 Concordia University, Canada In a historical review focused on digital piracy, we explore the relationship between hacker politics and the state. We distinguish between two core aspects of piracy—the challenge to property rights and the challenge to state power—and argue that digital piracy should be considered more broadly as a challenge to the authority of the state. We trace generations of peer-to-peer networking, showing that digital piracy is a key component in the development of a political platform that advocates for a set of ideals grounded in collaborative culture, nonhierarchical organization, and a reliance on the network. We assert that this politics expresses itself in a philosophy that was formed together with the development of the state-evading forms of communication that perpetuate unmanageable networks. Keywords: pirates, information politics, intellectual property, state networks Introduction Digital piracy is most frequently framed as a challenge to property rights or as theft. This framing is not incorrect, but it overemphasizes intellectual property regimes and, in doing so, underemphasizes the broader political challenge posed by digital pirates. In fact, digital pirates and broader “hacker culture” are part of a political challenge to the state, as well as a challenge to property rights regimes. This challenge is articulated in terms of contributory culture, in contrast to the commodification and enclosures of capitalist culture; as nonhierarchical, in contrast to the strict hierarchies of the modern state; and as faith in the potential of a seemingly uncontrollable communication technology that makes all of this possible, in contrast to a fear of the potential chaos that unsurveilled spaces can bring.

    Temporary Use & Collective Action: How Urban Planning Practices

    AESOP / YOUNG ACADEMICS NETWORK NEXT GENERATION PLANNING Open Access Journal Temporary Use & Collective Action: How Urban Planning Practices Contribute to Adaptive Capacity Building for Economic Resilience Robin A. Chang Technical University of Dortmund, Germany Corresponding author: [email protected] Amongst the proliferation of practice- and theory-based concepts that are changing urban planning, the renaissance of resilience is proving its potential for impressive implications instead of remaining a brief trend. This paper considers the affordances of an evolutionary and adaptive resilience framing for planning policy and practice in relation to economic development. Specifically, the research presented here explores the explanatory and analytical values of resilience through transformative collective action that incites experimentation, social learning and adaptive capacity building through entrepreneurial temporary uses. In the spotlight is Bremen’s temporary use policy of ZwischenZeitZentrale, through which temporary use is managed in the wake of economic and structural change. This softer form of policy demonstrates how planning mechanisms can complement strategies to address hurdles following gradual forms of crises. Through the case study of Plantage 9, an illustration of collective action is anchored by entrepreneurial temporary use that enable temporary users, temporary use managers and public administrations to build adaptive capacity for economic resilience.

    Panu Lehtovuori* & Sampo Ruoppila** *Tampere University of Technology, School of Architecture; [email protected] **University of Turku, Department of Social Research; [email protected] DRAFT, please do not quote word to word Temporary Uses Producing Difference in Contemporary Urbanism Paper presented at the “Transience and permanence in urban development” workshop, Sheffield 14.- 15.1.2015 Abstract The notion of ‘difference’ – phrased by different authors as multiplicity, variety, alterity, otherness, or heterotopia – is central in our effort to theorise temporary uses. In this paper, we outline a theoretical plane to discuss temporary uses, conceptualising urban space as a tensioned and dynamic field of in- terlinked, simultaneous differences. Temporary uses can be viewed either as instrumental ‘tools’ of urban planning and management or as intrinsically valuable spaces and processes, often with political and emancipatory connotations. We discuss how these two ways to think about temporary uses are linked, respectively, to two socio-cultural positions and practical interests, those of the plan- ner/developer and the activist/user. We provide also analysis how ‘difference’ is conceptualised in a selection of contemporary, in some way alternative or forward-looking planning ideas. We also ad- dress the complex relationship between temporary uses and gentrification, acknowledging the connec- tion, but arguing for policies to save the “successful” temporary uses for difference they may provide.
