The social value of public spaces

Worpole, Ken

The social value of public spaces - York Joseph Rowntree Foundation 2007

Examines the role of public spaces in community life, and the way people use them. Assesses urban spaces, markets, parks, allotments and privately owned public amenities. Finds that some attempts to reduce crime by sparse design may have a detrimental effect. Warns that planners should consider existing public attachment to existing spaces.
