Abstract

Political and economic conditions are always evident in societal order and, as a consequence, also in urban structures and, related to this, in different uses of public space. Using the examples of Aleppo, Tashkent and Cairo, it will be demonstrated how the respective political and social order is reflected in the design and use of public space in the course of history.
