It also bridges the gap between theory and practice as it draws from empirical research to suggest more quantitative approaches towards auditing and improving public places. By seeing where and why certain public places fail, direct and informed interventions can be made to improve them and through this contribute to the building of more attractive and sustainable cities.Design and the Built EnvironmentPublic spacesPublic spaces.307.76Varna Georgiana1596715MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828054503321Measuring public space3918191UNINA
