Task – LECTURE – STREETS – 01 – FUNCTIONS OF PUBLIC SPACE

[Ping-Yi Hung]

This is a night market (street market) in Keelung, Taiwan. It supposed to be a normal street for cars in the daytime. However, since it is closed a plaza of a temple, the venders and pedestrians gradually occupy this road after the sunset. This situation becomes a tradition.

In this case, I would say that public space can be multiple uses and ti could be the purpose of traffic and gathering in the same place.
