public urban space Explanation: I would perfer "public urban space" But as an alternative, "public landscape" could be used, depending upon the context and usage (ie more litteray). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2009-07-04 20:50:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- P.S. Kungsträdgården has a most intersting political/cultural history - consider the tunnelbana protests of the sixties. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2009-07-04 20:52:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or actually "urban landscape" could be used, even more literary. |

peer agreement (net): +1cityscape Explanation: The following is from the reference link below, at page 76: "The ‘before’ condition in Stockholm illustrates many of the problems with new urban areas. The streets are wide, the traffic is fast, and the target group is motorists. There is smooth, corporate architecture with little ground-level interaction which makes for an uninspired cityscape for the sidewalk-dweller."
