Abstract

In the face of the process of urbanization, population growth, increasing population needs and modern lifestyle changes, infrastructure development in urban centers around the world is also growing rapidly. Developments of urban space are some of which are not well coordinated and have left traces of waste space or interstitial space in the urban context, many researchers, and figures in the field of urbanization argue that this uncoordinated waste space leaves a variety of detrimental impacts on the city and community in the city. As a result, many researchers, and figures from various fields, especially in the field of urban design, have contributed knowledge to various solutions and opportunities to take advantage of this interstitial space. Studies have found that in recent times various approaches have been taken to utilize this interstitial space by performing various intervention strategies which each have a different impact on the quality of success of activating this space. This paper examines the concept of interstitial space that exists with the process of urbanization, the quality of public space in the city based on theoretical development by previous researchers and examines real case studies empirically in the approach of developing interstitial space towards space that benefits the city and society in it. A comprehensive empirical examination conducted through several case studies analyzed and compared based on figure theory regarding the quality of urban public space in major city with high density.
