The organization of public space raises many challenges. Its very nature of being on public display makes urbanism one of the fields of architecture that is most open to debate and controversy. Urban space should not only strive for balance between solid and void in the urban fabric, but must also be highly functional. All architecture stems from the need to offer answers and solutions to specific problems and demands. However, the demands of public projects go beyond those that affect commercial or residential design. Precisely because they have notable repercussions on civic life, they are subject to greater control by the public, and therefore need to satisfy very diverse aesthetic criteria. This book offers a sample of some of the works that, through their originality, ingenuity and creativity, have found a method of sustainable design.
