Using three squares in Winterthur \u2013 Katharina-Sulzer-Platz, Lagerplatz and Dialogplatz \u2013 as case studies, the emergence of such spatial constellations is examined. The analysis considers the planning, legal and urban development frameworks within which these spaces were realised, and critically reflects on their qualities and limitations in relation to the preservation and transformation of urban publicness in a European context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>25.02.2026, 18:00\u201321:00<br><br>Baukulturhaus Winterthur<br>Z\u00fcrcherstrasse 43<br>8004 Winterthur<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e8564c6797bd61482fa946b15b9ad1a2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensquare.ch\/event\/privately-owned-public-spaces-pops\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.opensquare.ch\/event\/privately-owned-public-spaces-pops\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Here you will find further information about the programme and the link to participate online.<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using three squares in Winterthur as case studies, the analysis examines how privately owned public spaces emerge and what role they can play in sustaining urban public life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":19353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"class_list":["post-21038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lecture"],"acf":{"image_size":"medium","width":"normal"},"translations":{"en":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/2026\/02\/25\/privately-owned-public-spaces-pops\/","de":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/2026\/02\/25\/privately-owned-public-spaces-pops\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21038"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21040,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21038\/revisions\/21040"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
