Social and Public Life During Disruptive Times: A Public Realm Perspective

Abstract

When it comes to social sustainability debates, public life is either neglected or is little discussed in the research. In fact, for us, it is important to understand public and social life as part of how cities could become healthier and more sustainable. In doing so, we are able to promote peace through quality public life, which would also determine the quality of life (QoL) and other well-being measures in cities and communities.
