Protection of Freedoms in Privatised Public Spaces.
I would like legislation to force private developments that include public spaces, to be open for all of the same activities that are sanctioned in the true public realm in that borough.
We are blindly sliding towards a post-public city where London is a theme park for tourists and the mega rich and its streets and public places are managed financial instruments in which citizens are only permitted to work and shop.
Here are eg's of developments that include substantial public spaces that are controlled by private security firms instead of local councils where often you cannot cycle, smoke, gather in groups, busk, protest or take photographs
Athletes Village, London
Bishops Square, Spitalfields
Broadgate
Canary Wharf
Cardinal Place, Victoria
Central St Giles
More London, including the City Hall
Excel Centre, Royal Victoria Docks
Hay’s Galleria
King’s Cross Central
Olympic Park, London
Paddington Waterside
Paternoster Square
Westfield Stratford City
