Tartalmi leírás:
Public spaces are spaces for representation of individuals, social groups, ideologies, values, cultures. At the
same time, public spaces are commodifi ed and “disneyfi ed” in capitalism, thus, the creation of a homogeneous,
“desirable” spatial form and use of public space is often intended. Therefore, their production is
characterised by constant rivalries and struggles and causes social confl icts. In addition, the production of
public spaces in post-socialism has distinct development paths which is often characterised by contradicting
traditions and objectives regarding the spatial form and the everyday practices taking place there. These
contradictions create confl icts between various individuals, social groups, actors of urban policies etc. The
aim of the paper is to investigate how urban social diversity is (re)presented in the public spaces of the 8th
district of Budapest, Józsefváros. Which groups and values are more visible than others? How do local people
use public spaces? The research is based on the content analysis of policy documents and interviews conducted
with local residents of Józsefváros – one of the most diverse districts of Budapest. According to our
results, the fragmented nature of the local society is refl ected in the use of public space: diversity is present
between the public spaces and not within them. Furthermore, some of the recent developments support the
homogenisation of values and behaviours in public spaces.
