Strictly speaking, libraries, government buildings, stations, shops and theatres are not public spaces, although we do in fact use them as if they were. A dynamic city has a number of such meeting places, out of doors as well as inside buildings. Richly illustrated with examples, Binnen in de Stad: Ontwerp en gebruik van publieke interieurs [Inside the City: The Design and Use of Public Interiors] analyses the architecture of public interiors and the way in which they are taken up in the fabric of the city.
