Abstract

Urban public spaces play a crucial role in holding various public events. Although events positively enrich the urban environment and encourage real social interactions, there are no guidelines for their spatial organization, posing a challenge in terms of using public spaces. This paper introduces new classifications of public events and temporary structures intended for their maintenance, applied to investigate their role and impact on urban spaces, using Liberty Square in Novi Sad as a case study. This research provides valuable insights for improving urban planning, considering the need for a balance between events and preserving the quality of urban spaces.
