“…In the reading of various urban theorists Sitte (Sitte, 1981), Krier (Krier, 1979), De Sola Morales (De Sola Morales, 2008), Gehl (Gehl, 2011), and Aldo Van Eyck, it was useful to frame the theme of public space and understand what the characteristics of public space are, recognized worldwide and at the same time character of the place. The analysis of the Global Public Space Toolkit (Habitat UN, 2015a) and the Charter of Public Space shows the importance of the use of the term place, which moves away from the traditional conception of public space and takes many different facets related to principles of identity, belonging, use, accessibility etc.…”

With the fall of the communist regime and the start of land privatization, Tirana went through a period of rapid urban expansion that generated an unprecedented explosion of informal settlements and the loss of public/collective spaces. This transformation is reflected in urban form and spatial configuration/perception of the public spaces. To measure the performance of public spaces, it is important to avoid on-size-fits-all, as Carmona states, while pointing out principles for public space design. This research investigates how public spaces succeed in creating a sense of belonging and, thus, creating places. To address this research question, we highlight the qualities of Tirana’s public space through a proposed model of analysis. It develops from the attributes of placemaking with theoretical reference to Kent and GPTs. Attributes are composed of entities measured or quantified to be used as indicators of the quality and livability of public spaces. Compare the four case studies with each other to frame public spaces in relation to their spatial configuration, confronting the project proposal both for its design and the state of livability. The results of this evaluation process will serve as a basis to address future improvement intervention for the community and for the planning practitioners.

“…Near Piazza dei Mercanti, we find Piazza in Piscinula (11th century). In this area, some important medieval buildings mentioned by Sitte (1980) [49] are recognizable in the elaborate images; they are the "closed" circumscribed spaces, large "excavated" courtyards that isolate the square from the rest of the town [49]. These characteristics also correspond to the concept of the medieval square: a finished place, distinct from the rest of the city [50,51].…”

This work aims to contribute to better understanding the use of public street spaces. (1) Background: In this sense, with a multidisciplinary approach, the objective of this work is to propose an experimental and reproducible method on a large scale. (2) Study area: The applied methodology uses artificial intelligence to analyze Google Street View (GSV) images at street level. (3) Method: The purpose is to validate a methodology that allows us to characterize and quantify the use (pedestrians and cars) of some squares in Rome belonging to different historical periods. (4) Results: Through the use of machine vision techniques, typical of artificial intelligence and which use convolutional neural networks, a historical reading of some selected squares is proposed, with the aim of interpreting the dynamics of use and identifying some critical issues in progress. (5) Conclusions: This work validated the usefulness of a method applied to the use of artificial intelligence for the analysis of GSV images at street level.
