New Public Spaces. European Streetscapes in the 21st Century

Public spaces are being renegotiated in the 21st century. Throughout Europe, there are demands for car-free, climate-compatible, diversely usable, and aesthetically attractive places where people can gather. Urban squares play a key role in this respect. This publication highlights 32 squares located in 16 European countries, all of which have been designed or redesigned in last 20 years. Among these are Trafalgar Square, London, Benthemplein, Rotterdam, Stephansplatz, Vienna, and Nørre Voldgade, Copenhagen. 

The book introduces the current debate and methods for organising and designing such places, then goes on to present detailed analyses of the selected examples.
