Public space and commerce in the contemporary city
The relation between business activity and public space is as old as the concept of the city itself. Postmodern culture has effected changes in the commercial perception of public space, which, in turn, have affected our aesthetic consideration of it and noticeably influenced the correct answer to it in both a commercial and social dimension. Appropriate commercial activity in public space creates the city; however, excessive exploitation only results in its unbalance and distortion. Maintaining a balance between the needs of business and respect for characteristics that are inherent to public space is essential in achieving urban balance and the right community response.
