Abstract

This paper came about within the context of a 13-month research project, Focus Area 1 - Method and Theory, at the Center for Public Space Research at the Royal Academy of the Arts School of Architecture in Copenhagen, Denmark. This project has been funded by RealDania.

The goals of the research project, Focus Area 1 - Method and Theory, which forms the framework for this working paper, are:

* To provide a basis from which to discuss the concept of public space in a contemporary architectural and urban context - specifically relating to theory and method
* To broaden the discussion of the concept of public space in order to include examples belonging to contemporary urban development and life.
* To identify theoretical and methodological positions, and efforts, that could further qualify and develop public space research at the centre
