Public space in the neoliberal city

This presentation offers a reflection on the status of the public space and the city that produces it and shows that at present it is built less as a common good of social and urban integration and more like a place of manifestations, resistances and citizen mobilizations who report disputes over control of spaces and conflicts for social, cultural, heritage and environmental rights.
