internal 'public' space or public institutions such as libraries, museums, town halls,

train or bus stations, etc.

Carmona, Heath, Oc and Tiesdell (2003)

external and internal ’quasi-public' space :

Places such as university campuses, sports grounds, restaurants also form part of

Therefore accessibility is the key factor for successful public space
