Miller delves into six of New York's public spaces, including Times Square, Trump Tower, and Sony Plaza, to trace how design influences their complicated existence. Design is, in Miller's view, complicit in regulation of public spaces in New York City to exclude undesirables and privilege commercial interests, and in this work she shows how design can reactivate public space and public life.Public spacesNew York (State)New YorkArchitecture and societyNew York (State)New YorkLand use, UrbanNew York (State)New YorkPublic spacesArchitecture and societyLand use, Urban711/.55097471Miller Kristine F942251MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910389555203321Designs on the public2126252UNINA
