Product Description
Public spaces are a fundamental feature of where we live, representing sites of sociability and acting as a perceived measure of the quality of urban life. The rejuvenation of public spaces is also a key policy concern. "Public Spaces, Social Relations and Well-being in East London" draws on qualitative research in a multi-ethnic area of East London to consider the social value of spaces. As well as green spaces, the study looks at those everyday spaces not usually highlighted in research or policy. The report: considers spaces along with place attachment, and explores the different types of social encounters that spaces afford; analyses relationships between ethnicity and public space, and reflects on the potential of spaces for fostering inter-ethnic understanding; investigates the links between different public spaces and well-being; discusses the social and symbolic aspects of places; highlights a market that encapsulates many of the valued features of public space; and shows how regeneration proposals have raised 'public space consciousness' and addresses policy implications. By providing a significant contribution to current debates around links between public spaces, social relations and well-being, the findings have particular implications for 'Cleaner, Safer, Greener', 'Community Cohesion', 'Sustainable Communities' and 'Choosing Health' policies. The study will be of interest to policy makers, practitioners and academics in public space, regeneration, community cohesion and community involvement, as well as those with an interest in well-being.
