Public spaces, such as parks, are created to discourage discrimination of social hierarchy, and to be shared by all races, genders and backgrounds.
What is the best way to mitigate arising issues in adjacent private spaces?
I think to answer your question you need to expand on this.....What is the best way to mitigate arising issues in adjacent private spaces?
Najah, do you have in mind any particular public green space which might have created problems to housing estates, for example, nearby? Or do you have in mind any public spaces which have attracted a lot of criminality and disorder and thus, they created serious problems to residents nearby? We all try to help, but you should help us with more clues as well.
Najah, I agree with you. From my view of point, it can be that different cultures and lacking of communication can be an encouragement of discrimination.Therefore, providing proper public places probably means giving people, specially young ones, a positive education about social relationships. Thus, it's disadvantages from public space should be included.
thank you so much for all your input.
I am basically hoping to study the impact of a public space and re-designing it for behaviour change , the physical elements are factors that influences the output. However, to measure this output,indicators have many variables. I am looking at high-density city centres at this moment- particularly comparing how western cities work better at managing than asian ones.
A case study that could be useful for you is the context of Northern Ireland.
