"In Search of the Public: Notes on the Contemporary American City" presents a collection of essays, interviews, and projects that deal with the role of public space within contemporary American urbanism. This publication, the result of a conference held at Princeton University, examines the physical, social, and political impact of public/collective space through three key aspects: ownership, density, and the right of access within the city. Contributors come from a range of disciplines, bringing together perspectives of architects, politicians, academics, and non-profit advocates.
