Common Space And Public Space In Contemporary Urbanisation

Abstract

Seemingly, rising aspiration for common space and community life in many cities faces two counter currents: The receding and underperforming states in producing and reproducing public spaces, and the acceding private corporations to being the major producer of private spaces-public places. By the latter I mean spaces that are privately owned and developed, but open for use by public, either for free or for a fee, for examples: malls, food-courts and theme parks. In some Asian countries the state is peculiarly becoming either more of a control-freak or incompetent in securing secular public life, or both, plus corrupt; while the capital boasts to serve more and better. How can individuals and communities negotiate changes?
