“城市开放空间”是居民与日常社区相互交往的公共场所，人们聚集的地方，市场所在的地方。多年来，“城市休憩用地”已经被许多名字引用了。

古希腊“agora”是经济和政府的中心，因此有政治意味。古罗马的“forum”是一个公共开放空间，用于贸易和集会，被公共建筑包围。“Piazza ,” “plaza ,” 和“place”是意大利语，西班牙语和英语的术语；所有这些都来自拉丁美洲的“platea”，它不仅指开放空间，还涉及到街道。除了这些术语外，还有“squares”，四面开放空间；“circles”，开阔的空地；“commons”，当地社区使用的地方；和“open spaces”，这是一个直接的术语，近年来变得流行起来。这些术语已经以各种方式使用，与历史，地区和民族环境有关。

今天的城市开放空间是什么？例如包括车站周围的重要的过境枢纽，活动和聚会的共享场所，以及休息和放松的个人空间，难以区分公众和私人。

然而，社会状况正在发生变化，障碍也在增加。其中包括可见的城市环境中的物理障碍和隐形的障碍，以及收入差距扩大，与移民，少数民族和种族歧视有关的问题。考虑到这些情况，考虑到城市开放空间在城市形成中起着关键作用，我们现在的开放空间的设计真的很好吗？难道现在不是时候重新想象一些城市的开放空间吗？这些地方不但引导活动，而且自己也有权力提高城市的吸引力。考虑到社会趋势，城市开放空间应该重新设计，使人们发挥主导作用。

“Urban open spaces” are communal places where residents interact with their everyday communities ‒ places where people gather, where markets are held. Over the years, “Urban open spaces” have been referred to by many names.
An “agora ” in ancient Greece was a center of economy and government, hence the term’s political connotation. A “forum ” in ancient Rome was a public open space used for trade and assemblies, surrounded by public buildings. “Piazza ,” “plaza ,” and “place” are terms in Italian, Spanish, and English; all derive from the Latin “platea ,” which refers not only to open spaces but also to streets. In addition to these terms, there are “squares,” four-sided open spaces; “circles,” round open spaces; “commons,” places used by local communities; and “open spaces,” a straightforward term that has come into vogue in recent years. These terms have been used in a variety of ways and are related to historical, regional, and ethnic settings.
That said, what are urban open spaces like today? Examples include vital transit hubs around stations, shared places for events and gatherings, and personal spaces for rest and relaxation, where it is difficult to distinguish public from private.
Social conditions are changing, however, and barriers are cropping up. Among these are visible, physical barriers in urban environments and barriers that are invisible but divide people nonetheless ‒ widening income gaps and issues relating to immigrants, minorities, and racial discrimination. Given these circumstances and considering that urban open spaces play a key role in city formation, are our open spaces really fine the way they are? Isnʼt it time to reimagine blank spaces in cities where multitudes gather as open spaces for people? Not only do they induce activities, the places themselves have the power to enhance the attractiveness of cities. Bearing social trends in mind, urban open spaces ought to be redesigned so that people are playing the leading roles.
