Abstract
The impact of prevailing economic policies on urban planning approaches and inevitably on physical built environment has become more visible especially for the discussion on loss or decrease of public realm, public spaces and public involvement in cities. These impacts are basically the privatization of urban public spaces, lack of solid and consistent framework for the creation, design and maintenance of public spaces and the change in the perception of living together in cities (Sorkin 1992; Newman 1973; Carmona 2010). However, the past ten years witnessed urban movements, new bottom-up organizations that force to form their own spaces in different scales all around the world, triggering the question and critique towards the validity of these mainstream arguments of loss of public space and public life in cities within the planning literature. This study argues that although its method, time-frame, aim and actors differ from the known urban public space planning and design approaches, these space production examples present a crucial discussion in terms of the current and future situation of planning approach and responsibilities of urban planner.
