Thesis (M.A.)--Carleton University (Canada), 2007.

This thesis explores the hybridity of public space. I focus my study on the spaces of community gardens, sites that are featured increasingly across many urban landscapes. I examine how community gardeners perceive, comprehend, and use these sites as ambiguous spaces that are always in a process of 'becoming'. The theoretical ideas, analytic framework, and empirical research presented in this thesis attend to how urban neoliberalism's spatial processes affect urban forms. Specifically, this research is informed by and intends to inform land use debates and competing visions for public space. Today, public spaces are contested urban sites in many city centres. These sites are used in increasingly private ways by those 'squeezed out of or evicted from private spaces'. Concurrently, public spaces are surveilled, controlled, and designed to ensure that they remain 'open' for 'public' use. My thesis is situated at this political juncture where private space meets public space, where private uses are pitted against public uses. I question 'what is a public space', showing that private uses, or privacy, is a constitutive part of public space. I also demonstrate that public spaces are perceived as 'lived' spaces and used in 'third' ways. The arguments and evidence put forward in this thesis seek to contribute to debates over 'appropriate' uses of public space and to the fields of critical geography, urban planning, and Canadian Studies.
