    About this ebook

    Urban life is ever-changing, never more so than in a city's public squares. How people use urban squares, the daily rhythms of travelling or public eating, reveal demands placed on urban design and the need for new approaches to urban renewal. Urban Squares suggests a fresh take on agorology—the study of urban squares. Focusing on specific ways to study and describe public life in urban squares, four initiated scholars use case studies drawn from MalmÖ and Copenhagen, in the transnational Öresund region, to chart the transformations seen in recent decades. Their particular focus is the urban material culture and spatio-temporal changes seen in urban squares. The authors help us see how the everyday life of urban squares plays an important part in the production of public space. They offer new perspectives on urban design and public life, and point to the possible development of a more extensive agorology of everyday life.
