Today, many urban theorists neglect or even reject the existence
of interior public space. These thinkers focus
on the publicly-owned space, often outdoors, and forget certain
publicly-used spaces, where the people actually are! Let alone
interiors as such. Interior public spaces
are not new, unlike some presume. Over time, they have played an
important role in a variety of socio-spatial
transformations and always they have been crucial for the city
and its culture. As long as theorists do not respect interior
public spaces and thus really understand the
complicated network of paths of people, they are lost in a
self-created maze.
