摘要
Public space is often seen as problem space in the modem city: it is now as it has always been a space of contention. It is the visible and accessible venue wherein the public - comprising institutions and citizens acting in concert - enact rituals and make claims designed to win recognition. This article discusses two theses which regard the public realm in the modem city from very different perspectives. It then seeks to understand the strikingly contrary conclusions about the public sphere by exploring several of the issues which proponents of the two viewpoints interpret differently.
