Control as a Dimension of Public-Space Quality

Public-space quality is attracting considerable attention. The number of new spaces has greatly expanded. At the same time, people are using existing and new public spaces in increasing numbers. As a result, the relationship of public spaces such as parks, plazas, and streets to the quality of urban life has attracted intense interest on the part of public officials, researchers, designers, and cit izens (Hiss, 1987; Levine, 1984).
