Small Squares

The design of urban public space is fundamentally based on formulating the best possible way to accommodate people and finding the optimal configuration that offers leisure areas, an oasis for contemplation or an ideal meeting spot. In the last few years, this design area has undergone some rather impressive development. An appreciable increase has been seen in both the degree of sophistication and the variety of resources used by architects and landscape artists when drafting their designs for the outdoor common spaces being built today.
