It is essential to promote social inclusion by providing
spaces for people of all socio-economic backgrounds to use
and enjoy. Quality public spaces such as libraries and parks
can supplement housing as study and recreational spaces for
the urban poor.
There is a need to ensure that there is an equitable
distribution of public spaces within cities. Through the
provision of quality public spaces in cities can reduce the
economic and social segregation that is prevalent in many
developed and developing cities. By ensuring the distribution,
coverage and quality of public spaces, it is possible to directly
influence the dynamics of urban density, to combine uses and
to promote the social mixture of cities’ inhabitants.
Rights and duties of all the public space stakeholders
should be clearly defined. Public spaces are public assets as
a public space is by definition a place where all citizens are
legitimate to be and discrimination should be tackled there.
Public space has the capacity to gather people and break
down social barriers. Protecting the inclusiveness of public
space is a key prerequisite for the right to the city and an
important asset to foster tolerance, conviviality and dialogue.
Public spaces in slums are only used to enable people
to move. There is a lack of public space both in quantity and
quality, leading to high residential density, high crime rates,
lack of public facilities such as toilets or water, difficulties
to practice outdoor sports and other recreational activities
among others.
