Abstract

Streets, plazas, and parks are important components of a city that play a key role in affording socio-cultural, political, and economic activities for the benefit of society. The physical nature of these urban spaces facilitates sharing of resources, infrastructures, good, services, experiences, and capabilities. Recent socio-economic and technological changes have resulted in a new generation of city design and planning paradigms shifting the way that urban public and semi-public forms and spaces are designed, managed, and used. This chapter addresses the foundational changes brought by smart, or autonomous (AV), vehicles; smart city technologies; and the business models and associated technologies of sharing. The primary goal is to examine how these three socio-economic and technological changes may influence the use of current and future urban public space. It further informs designers on how urban spaces can provide opportunities to create new relationships of use and engaging public experiences through technology.
