The spaces of the public space

   At present, it can be said that in almost all
large cities, the public space has changed from
being the place of encounter and socialisation to
one of mere transit from one place in the city
to another; its design appears to focus more on
optimising the flows of decidedly capitalist system
production that expands without apparent resistance
than on satisfying the citizens’ desire for well-
being and leisure.
   However, if we view the city as spatial production
and we ask ourselves about the authorities that are
responsible for it, we initially think of the state
and its regulatory function, which determines the
stability and permanence of the city in its physical
aspects and its feelings.
