Abstract
The central concern of this paper is to examine the ways in which traditional perspectives on open spaces influenced to form modern discourses on urban parks in the nineteenth centurys London, where urbanization and modernization led to radical changes socially and spatially. How did traditional ways of developing semi-public open spaces, such as London Squares, influence the emergence of new kinds of public spaces ? This was a time when there was a need for more urban open spaces to improve urban living environment. The study examines, firstly, the development of squares in London from the concept of a single traditional garden square in a town block, to the creation of a series of squares in the broader estate developments, such as Bayswater, secondly, the reflection of ways to develop semi-public open spaces in the plans of Regents Park, and finally the pressure to let the Park open to the public. This detailed study of the transformation of squares in London is placed in the broader context of consideration on ways to establish modern discourses on public open spaces in metropolis.
