It is necessary for functioning of the city defined both as community and as an element of macrosystems such as economy, culture or politics. Social spaces come into being through ongoing, planed and random community actions. They emerge from meanings attached to a given objects, norms, values and material elements of culture and from social interactions. Urban social spaces, especially public spaces are kind of display for a values crucial for a given age and place, where some elements are underlined, other omitted or even altered.
