thread_title:  socially constructed 

message: I propose to modify the examples section.   It is not only confusing, but it is an incorrect at worst and misleading at best, because the difference in laws that govern people's actions in a particular space is merely a derivative of the real difference between a public and private space -- namely, fact that there is a difference in the entity which owns the space.   What you can or cannot do in a 'public space' is determined by the legislation of your city/county/parish/state, depending on whether it is a city/county/parish/state owned space (e.g. state parks have different regulations than city parks), while what you can or cannot do in a sidewalk cafe is regulated by what the cafeowner defines as appropriate behavior on his property.
The examples section as it currently stands also misleadingly sends the message that the biggest difference between public and private space is that the former is 'free', whereas in fact public space is owned by the public, which means that the public space is maintained by the public (and this is where some of your tax dollars are going.)
:The proposal to close many parks in Detroit illustrates the distinction between social public space and mere public ownership. If the gates are closed the public space is no longer social space in the ordinary sense. Fred Talk 18:23, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  restrict access to public areas to residents only 

message: I am browsing the bibliography about public space from an African perspective and in particular about South Africa there is a quite large literature about how public space is actually a space of fear due to apartheid dynamics, curfews, military and police presence, criminality. It is quite impressive that it really completely upsets the positive definition of public space we are used to. A shared space is private, intimate, inside homes and protected.

message: I came across this sentence at the top of this article today and questioned it: 
I’m not great at research, so I’ll drop this one source below and open the floor. I’m very curious for others’ perspectives:

Thanks & please let me know if there’s a better way to discuss/fact check this — I’m new to editing/discussing on Wikipedia!

thread_title:  Are malls public space? 

message: My edit got reverted, even though the article I cited said that Wikipedia IS a public space. Can anyone explain why? Username142857 (talk) 02:06, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Because you need a reliable source for this. Wikipedia isn't one. There's also the distinction between real physical public spaces and online public spaces which are so-called through an analogy with physical public spaces.  Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 05:07, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
