Urban Planning Analysis of Public Space as a Socio-Emotional Setting.

Abstract

Public space operates as a dynamic and living entity where physical, social, and psychological dimensions converge. Urban public spaces, understood as the primary settings for everyday human interactions, not only reflect the physical infrastructure of a city but also embody the cultural, social, and emotional dynamics of its inhabitants. Investigating concepts such as mental health, self-awareness, sexual education, and inclusion is essential to shaping our experiences within these shared environments, employing a framework that integrates pleasure, sexuality, and well-being.
