Placemaking for Green Urban Regeneration

Abstract

This chapter introduces the definition of the social dimension of public places; it sheds light on the two poles of the influence of the physical environment on human behaviour as well as the human agency and social influences on urban spaces. Moreover, it brings sociability to the fore as one identifiable attribute of successful public places as discussed in the previous chapter, the cultural and economic influences on the liveability of public spaces, as well as the weight of public life as identified by observation of the occurrence of cultural activities and social events. This chapter intentionally raises the questions of sociability’s impact on public life and users’ activities, whether it affects the public space or shapes the public space, especially green spaces.
