Harteveld, M.G.A.D. (2006) Viva Las Vegas, A Search for the Urban Design Task of Interior Public Space, In: (2005) Urban Transformations and Sustainability, Progress of Research Issues in Urbansim, Amsterdam: IOS Press, pp. 34-45In an exploration of the notions of public space public interiors are generally seen as undemocratic and more private spaces. This notion is based upon the Roman distinction between publicus and privatus and with that the public space, being a public case, would primarily refer to res publica. Opposing this perspective, a related Roman public law deals with the common interest of the urban society and could include cases of interior public space. As can be learned from most sociological research in contemporary daily life those spaces are public. In general for urbanism their research can be seen as the social context, because the urbanist is focussed primarily on the city: the civitas, and not the whole societas. More specific: for urban designers dealing with the public space traditionally means centring the outdoor space and although this is almost always synonym to the public domain or the public owned space, I conclude that public space can be more. For urbanism this means a need for new understandings and an extension of the design task.www.harteveld.org
