[Scale #2] 24 Case studies

This chapter presents selected case studies that were identified as relevant in terms of their geographic, locational, and programmatic diversity, and decoded through a systematic de-layering. It showcases the mapping method developed within the MetroPublicNet research, as means of understanding each public space project, in its territorial embeddedness. The case study's scale approach highlights possible intersystem spatial relations, between public space and other thematic polarities, that contribute to better understand the articulation between isolated public space qualification projects and their contribution to a metropolitan scale network. Three of the 24 cases are illustrated and briefly presented.
