A public space or a public place is a place where anyone has a right to come without being excluded because of economic or social conditions. One of the earliest examples of public spaces are commons. For example, no fees or paid tickets are required for entry, nor are the entrants discriminated based on background. Non-government-owned malls are examples of private space with the appearance of public space.
Typical examples are most roads, including the pavement, town squares and parks. Some parks, malls, waiting rooms, etc. are closed at night.
Typical differences between a public space and a private space are illustrated by comparing sitting on a public bench and sitting on a seat in a pavement café:
- The first costs nothing.
- There is no time limitation, apart from possible opening hours.
- One is allowed to consume brought-along food and drinks (for alcoholic beverages the law prohibits this sometimes; this may even be the case if it is allowed in a pavement café; in some public places alcohol consumption is allowed during the day, but not at night).
- A pavement café may have a dress code such as a prohibition of being shirtless, while in a public space only general law applies.
