Public space

touches on the topic of public space is, “I believe that public space should be intentional: it should be obvious that you belong”. There are many areas of public space on the campus of Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). The picnic tables outside the tree lounge, the Werwath Mall, the sidewalk and benches outside RWJ and MLH are all examples of public spaces. All of these spaces are beneficial to both the public and students at MSOE, however there is one specific public space on campus, the Werwath

A public space is a space that is generally open and accessible to people. Roads (including the pavement), public squares, and parks are public space. To a limited extent, government buildings which are open to the public, such as public libraries are public spaces, although they tend to have restricted areas and limits on use.

Dr. Lauren Rosewarne is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Her Article Pin-ups in Public Space is an academic piece about the double standard of the allowance of sexist advertisements but outlawing of pin-ups in the workplace. In this essay, I will explain how Rosewarne used rhetoric and evaluate whether she was successful in doing so. She shows the clear similarities both visually of these images but also both of their effects on those

Staples, Black Men and Public Spaces, and Ivan’s, Get a Knife Get a Dog but Get Rid of Guns, are two different stories who barely share any of the same information except for people being in harm. Staple's story about his life experiences of being a man who is feared when walking into a jewelry store seemed different from a woman trying to get pro-gun people to switch to knives instead for their safety. From the two stories, I pulled out one thing in my mind that could pull them together as far as

The term public space is used in reference to an area or place that is regarded as accessible to all, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or socio-economic background. These are spaces where the public can come together for example parks and squares. Spaces that transit communities around the cities are also regarded as public spaces as in pavements and streets.

Cities are full of public spaces, some for walking, some for sitting, and some for standing.

exploring the theme of public space first as a general concept, dissecting what the phrase means and how it’s been used in global conversation. Then, I will give a few examples of how public space manifests itself in the world.

While we often move through different spaces in society continuously, many individuals do not necessarily regard the importance of these urban spaces within their daily lives. It is important to consider the definition of public space in order to further explore certain activities that take place within this sphere.
