A public space is a physical or virtual area within a community that is freely accessible and open to all individuals for public use, such as parks, plazas, sidewalks, bridges, and public buildings. Public spaces are generally owned and maintained by the government or other public entities and intended for activities such as socializing, recreation, and cultural events. They play a crucial role in creating a sense of community, fostering social interaction and inclusiveness, and promoting civic engagement.
