L'espace public en ville : un lieu majeur de vie urbaine [...] l'espace public, au sens de l'espace urbain extérieur à celui du logement et de l'entreprise, semble un lieu privilégié d'observation des rapports sociaux en milieu urbain. C'est là que la ville est collective, là où s'entrecroisent de multiples usages, là où se rencontrent de multiples fonctions, bref, là où se trouve une bonne part de la vie quotidienne propre à la cité. Un constat peut-être fait [...] cet espace public est principalement utilisé, parcouru et investi par le populaire [...] 3, record 1, French, - espace%20public

En tant que composé d'espaces ouverts, ou extérieurs, l'espace public s'oppose, au sein du domaine public, aux édifices publics. Mais il comporte aussi bien des espaces minéraux (rues, places, boulevards, passages couverts) que des espaces verts (parcs, jardins publics, squares, cimetières...) ou des espaces plantés (mails, cours...). Par extension, de nombreux urbanistes considèrent également au titre de l'espace public des lieux bâtis de droit privé : gares, centre commerciaux..., voire les moyens de transport en commun ou les équipements collectifs. On ne les suivra pas ici. 4, record 1, French, - espace%20public

TRAC considers it essential that the connections of the Victoria Quay development to the rest of the city of Fremantle must be in keeping with the historical and cultural urban form of Fremantle. Therefore connections should incorporate as much multi-use open public space which enrich the urban form of Fremantle. It is our strong view that this means removing public vehicle access to the development area, instead focussing on pedestrian access, cycling and light rail. 2, record 2, English, - public%20open%20space
