Preferred term

public realm  

Definition

  • The public realm refers to all aspects of society and the social world that are not exclusively private (e.g., private property, private life). As a result, the public realm is composed of multiple overlapping dimensions that have each given rise to distinct theories and modes of investigation, often within the boundaries of specific academic disciplines.
