Central Question
If our cities are becoming ‘hybrid cities’
and increasingly rely on digital infrastructure
What does that mean for Public Space?
Assumption
Public space piggybacks on urban infrastructures

What are the functions of Urban Public Space?
The City is a place full of strangers
Yet we do somehow have to relate to all those other (and often different) people
‘Public Space as meeting ground’

Infrastructure as Public Space
Paris BLVD network by Haussmann - http://www.bricoleurbanism.org/whimsicality/urban-fabric-form-comparison/
Paris BLVDs by Haussmann (1852-1870
Motives:Sanitation
Crowd Control(Canon shot boulevards)
Modernization
Optimizing Traffic

Infrastructure as Public Space
Pissaro Avenue de l’Opera (Musée des Beaux Art, Reims))
Paris BLVDs by Haussmann (1852-1870
Outcome:Flaneurs
Cafe Culture & Terraces
Meeting Ground
Mingling of Classes

UrbanismBLVD
Conclusion so far:
Public Space is the ‘interface’ of urban society
Public Space often ‘piggybacks’ on Infrastructure
but:
This all sounds very ‘Paris 1890.’

Does a BLVD-Urbanism still hold
now that

Challenge:
How to move beyond representation
And towards a sense of ‘ownership’ in the issue

Conclusions:
From Public Space to Public Spheres
From ‘Urban Mass’ to Issue Publics
Fragmentation or Integration?
