The assessment of the quality of public space on the example of Katowice and Bytom
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 9
Abstract
A well-designed public space is friendly to its users. There are several different research methods to evaluate its utility quality. This study analyses town market squares in Katowice and Bytom, and two commercial complexes in these cities: SCC in Katowice and Agora in Bytom (both include representative-public squares in their concepts). First, their essential compositional-spatial features have been presented, then their dominant functions have been determined and eventually the quality of land use has been analysed (according to Hall's concept) as well as the potential of the presented spaces (PPS method).<br/><br/>
