Modern people have a demanding and busy life. Jakarta is not an exception. Whose people is growing rapidly in terms of socio economic standing into middle class.This class requires different types and patterns of usage of space. They prefer to live in suburubia, spends time in malls instead of local places, and usually have 9-5 jobs.The mall’s role as a public space is problematic as it can siphon away public life that could’ve happen in local place which can shape a strong sense of place and character. Other than that, malls also requires a significant energy commitment to get to it, doesn’t create community around it, exclusive to lower class people, etc. A local third place is proposed as a solution. To pull back public life into the suburbia. Something smaller in scale, making the visitors into people not mere consumer. A personal place, A place that forms communities, a palce that is local so people don’t have to spend a lot of energy going to the place. A place that is open to all. A Third place. In this final project, the chosen site is right in the middle of a housing complex in Pulomas. Local residents would only have to walk no more than 5 minutes to visit the place. It provides public spaces that are in demand by local residents, such as food hall, gym, study space, archery hall, eventspace, etc in smaller scale. Public life that is stolen from the mall is taken back into the local place, creating a sense of place and community. AbstrakMasyarakat modern memiliki tuntutan kehidupan yang sibuk dan padat. Tidak terkecuali penduduk Jakarta. Yang strata sosio-ekonominya bertumbuh secara cepat menjadi kalangan menengah ke atas. Kalangan ini memiliki kebutuhan ruang dan pola penggunaan ruang yang berbeda. Mereka memilih untuk tinggal di perumahan, menghabiskan waktu di mall dibanding di tempat yang lokal, dan umumnya memiliki pekerjaan 9-5. Penggunaan mall sebagai tempat publik berpotensi menjadi masalah, ketika kehidupan publik yang bisa menjadi karakter suatu tempat di alihkan ke tempat yang anonim seperti  mall. Kurangnya kehidupan publik mengikis sense of place dan social capital yang dimiliki sebuah tempat. Selain itu mall juga membutuhkan komitmen energi yang besar untuk mencapai mall, pengunjung yang tidak menjalin komunitas, ekslusifitas terhadap kalangan menengah kebawah, dlsb. Third place yang lokal di usulkan sebagai solusi, untuk menarik kembali kehidupan publik di perumahan. Sebuah tempat yang mempunyai skala lebih kecil, menjadikan pengunjungnya sesama manusia, personal, membentuk komunitas, lokal sehingga kita tidak perlu banyak energi untuk mengunjungi tempat itu, dan terbuka bagi semua, sebuah third place. Di proyek tugas akhir ini, dipilih site tepat di tengah perumahan, di Pulomas. Warga lokal hanya tinggal jalan kaki tidak lebih dari 5 menit untuk mencapai site. Menyediakan tempat publik skala kecil yang dibutuhkan oleh warga lokal seperti food hall, gym, ruang studi, lapangan panahan, eventspace, lounge, dll. Kehidupan publik yang sebelumnya dicuri oleh mall dan tempat lain dilokalisasikan, menciptakan sebuah sense of place, dan sense of community.

This study examines the role and effectiveness of suburban, ethnic shopping centres in providing an alternative to public space. It is a response to the suburb's lack of good public spaces, and the resulting lack of community and sense of place, and is informed by the development of 'ethnoburbs' across North America. This study explores themes revealed by both literature and a series of field observations and intercept interview. A case study analyzing First Markham Place and how its mall patrons use the space revealed implications regarding the effectiveness of these malls as public spaces. The author found that the mall's role as a community hub provides opportunities to satisfy both practical and innate desires for cultural goods, services, and co-ethnic interactions, encourages a 'public life' not seen in conventional suburban malls, and creates a unique sense of place for members of the target ethnic community as well as non-members.

Abstract A city’s public spaces ought to meet a number of requirements to serve their main purpose, that is to foster public life. They need, for instance, to answer people’s needs, fulfil certain social functions, and let people use their basic rights, among them the most important right of access. In Katowice, one of the most prominent examples of the regeneration of public spaces is now the Culture Zone. The aim of this paper is to discuss the development of social functions in the area mentioned, a fine example of the post-industrial heritage of Upper Silesia. Applying some of the qualities of public space identified in the theories adopted, the paper discusses how the Culture Zone [in Polish: Strefa Kultury] fulfils the above-mentioned demands and requirements. Is it accessible? Does it meet the need for comfort? Does it function as a leisure space? By referring to analyses and opinions presented in the literature and comparing them with the results of the author’s own empirical research, this article discusses the importance, opportunities, and shortcomings of the Culture Zone as a public space.

The issue of public spaces is increasingly at the core of civic movements and discourse of reform in Lebanon, coming to the fore most recently in the mass protests of October 2019. Yet, these most recent movements build on years of activism and contestation, seeking to reclaim rights to access and engage with public spaces in the face of encroachments, mainly by the private sector. Urban spaces, including the country’s two biggest cities – Beirut and Tripoli – have been largely privatised and the preserve of an elite few, and post-war development has been marred with criticism of corruption and exclusivity. This article explores the history of public spaces in Beirut and Tripoli and the successive civic movements, which have sought to realise rights to public space. The article argues that reclaiming public space is central to reform and re-building relationships across divides after years of conflict. First, the article describes the evolution of Lebanon’s two main urban centres. Second, it moves to discuss the role of the consociational system in the partition and regulation of public space. Then it describes the various civic movements related to public space and examines the opportunities created by the October 2019 movement. Penultimately it interrogates the limits imposed by COVID-19 and recent crises. Lastly, it explores how placemaking and public space can contribute to peacebuilding and concludes that public spaces are essential to citizen relationships and inclusive participation in public life and affairs.

Public space is important to a city’s economic and social quality. Downtown Toronto is not known for its public spaces but Melbourne is widely recognized for recently revitalizing its city centre with improved public spaces. A case study of Melbourne investigates its comparability to Toronto as well as the details of its "renaissance." It is concluded that Melbourne is, in fact, highly comparable to Toronto. Interventions in Melbourne were characterized by the principles: long-term vision, emphasizing local strengths, investment in quality, making space for people on foot, and using effective arguments and evidence. To emulate Melbourne’s city-centre revitalization, Toronto first should facilitate a civic conversation about the long-term vision for its downtown; second, it should initiate a public life survey of the downtown; third, it should invest is the physical quality of downtown public spaces; and fourth, it should begin an incremental program to reclaim roadway space from cars in locations of high pedestrian use.

Subject of study: issue of redevelopment of industrial zones that have lost its purpose, which have a huge potential for renovation in the current conditions of development of a modern metropolis. Based on the example of a housing complex projected on the territory of the «Krasny Vyborzhets» factory the article describes approaches to the renovation of historical buildings located on the territory of the future residential com-plex, which cannot be demolished due to town planning regulations. Objectives: the formation of the hypotheses of redevelopment of cultural her-itage objects belonging to the residential complex being designed on the territory of the plant “Krasny Vyborzhets”. Materials and methods: mapping methods, SWOT analysis, world experience of redevelopment were used. Results: the main direction of redevelopment was chosen to create a cultural and business center “Rosenkrantz” with a modern open public space, which is based on the combination of three historical eras. Conclusions: this type of redevelopment will increase the security of this area, the attractiveness of the residential complex for future costumers of apartments and also will create a public space for leisure activities for local residents and their children.

Public spaces that attract and retain diverse people are crucial to foster urbanity and tolerance, and build stronger and livelier communities, especially in big cities. The simple coexistence of similarities and differences in public spaces can, to say the least, validate our own essence and offer us a possibility of growth. Sharing the same space with other people – even without interacting with them – favors social learning. Theory suggests that thought, feeling and behavior can be altered by observation. The search for public spaces that make urbanity viable is desirable in any society (especially in more unequal societies, as one can find in developing countries). However, inspired by ideas built on the critique of great urban agglomerations after the Industrial Revolution, cities around the world have undergone transformations that did exactly the opposite. As a series of lifeless places began to emerge, several researchers tried to figure out why this was happening. These researchers found that just wanting to create a lively place was not enough. It was necessary to scrutinize the behavior of people in public spaces in order to understand the relationship between their configuration and use. The knowledge they have built has been largely responsible for the increasing concern with public spaces and their relation to public life since the 1960s. Cities around the world are realizing that empty places could be full of people, and that not only a place full of people is something positive, but an empty place is not. They are learning to see underused public spaces as social, cultural, environmental, and financial waste. However, even with so much information available, it is still possible to find, in any contemporary city, public spaces that fail to support public life. Frequently, little or nothing is done to make them safer or more attractive, diverse and pleasant. It is even more worrying to realize that such places continue to be created. This is the focus of this paper. It brings together available knowledge and experiences in the area of public space design. It also complements, structures and translates such experiences and knowledge into a Public Space Post-Occupancy Evaluation Method, which stresses the importance of observing people and their activities. As a result, one can better understand, observe, assess and, thus, manipulate the main attributes of a public space that may influence its capacity to attract and retain diverse people on a daily basis. The method is offered as a tool to support those who deal with public spaces at different levels – from academic studies to municipal management. It has been used in Brasilia, Brazil, for the past 7 years, with positive results in governmental decision-making processes. A case study is briefly presented to illustrate its use.

Successful urban development is usually anchored by vital public spaces where people naturally want to gather: a crossroads or a main street, third place business, public market, waterfront wharf, library, railway station, campus, agora, piazza, or civic square. These spaces become truly magnetic places when they provide purpose and meaning for the broad groups of people they serve. Public places are most dynamic—and most enduring—when they showcase and boost a community’s unique public life, economy, and culture. This is especially true when the people using them are involved in their creation, continual re-creation, management, and governance. This is the essence of placemaking. Great public spaces happen through community-driven placemaking and place-led governance. These great places are the foundation of great communities, which in turn are the building blocks of a prosperous, equitable, and resilient society.

The fabric of many post WW2 campuses in North America, can be described as a collection of independent buildings rather than as infrastructure that shapes and connects a network of public spaces with character, sense of place and social amenity. The same can be said for our late modernist cities. A re-examination and design of these interstitial leftover spaces can provide much needed public domain for students and faculty while also improving the ambiance and connectivity of adjacent buildings. Through analyzing and intervening within an existing underutilized circulation plaza within Ryerson’s urban Toronto campus, this thesis project asserts the importance of public space by creating new connections and relationships between building, landscape, and people using strategies of landscape urbanism and infrastructural urbanism. The synthesis of architecture, infrastructure and landscape has the potential to create public realm by intensifying and uniting new and existing flows within existing urban and social networks.

The routine which is carried out between home and the workplace, school or campus every day could trigger stress which caused by the burden of thoughts and workloads. This could also make the individual traits get higher and reduce social interactions because of their respective activities. Therefore, the third place is present as a neutral public space to be able to accommodate the need for social interaction to exchange ideas, release the burden of thoughts and also emphasize the tightness of activities in schools, campus, workplace, etc without feeling awkward for doing interaction among people who have different backgrounds. These problems will be answered through architectural product as a space for education and creativity which is equipped with playing facilities, gatherings, and also leisure facilities to maintain the quality of individual’s life. Kemang, South Jakarta, is selected as the area for designing a third place because Kemang is close to housing complex, office buildings, and schools. In addition, Kemang is also a trajectory for many people who travel from home to workplace, school or campus and vice versa. The program will raise art and sports as the design theme which will be supported by some supporting programs which are still related to the design theme as the answer of the problems and to strengthen the identity of Kemang. Moreover, art and sports are close to third place. This project will be designed by John Zeisel’s re-image method and will be supported by Erica M. Bartels’s transparency theory by giving priority to the permeable as part of the design concept and also paying attention to the existing factors of authenticity. AbstrakRutinitas yang dilakukan antara rumah dan tempat kerja, sekolah atau kampus hampir setiap hari dapat memicu stres dan penat akibat beban pikiran dan juga beban kerja. Hal ini juga dapat menjadikan sifat individualisme semakin tinggi dan berkurangnya interaksi sosial antar individu dikarenakan kesibukan masing – masing. Oleh karena itu, ruang ketiga hadir sebagai ruang publik yang bersifat netral agar mampu mewadahi dan menjawab kebutuhan akan interaksi sosial untuk bertukar pikiran, melepas beban pikiran dan juga stres akibat padatnya aktivitas di sekolah, kampus, tempat kerja, dan lain-lain tanpa merasa canggung untuk berinteraksi meskipun berbeda latar belakang. Permasalahan ini akan dijawab melalui produk arsitektur berupa penciptaan wadah untuk edukasi dan kreativitas yang dilengkapi dengan sarana bermain, berkumpul, dan juga bersantai guna menjaga kualitas hidup individu. Kawasan Kemang, Jakarta Selatan, dipilih sebagai kawasan untuk perancangan ruang ketiga karena Kemang merupakan kawasan yang dekat dengan perumahan, perkantoran, dan sekolah. Selain itu, Kemang juga menjadi lintasan banyak orang bepergian dari rumah ke tempat kerja, sekolah, atau kampus dan sebaliknya. Program akan mengangkat tema seputar seni dan olahraga yang kemudian akan didukung dengan beberapa program penunjang yang masih berkaitan dengan tema tersebut sebagai bentuk jawaban dari permasalahan dan pengangkatan identitas kawasan Kemang. Selain karena hal tersebut, seni dan olahraga juga memiliki keterkaitan yang cukup erat dengan ruang ketiga. Proyek ini akan dirancangan menggunakan metode re-image oleh John Zeisel yang kemudian akan didukung dengan teori transparency oleh Erica M.Bartels dengan mengutamakan sifat mudah ditembus sebagai bagian dari konsep perancangan dan juga memperhatikan faktor kesejaman yang ada.
