​
Transforming between the parallel public space
The norms about public space are designed for order, rules, adults, and traffic, but not for play. Although there are kinds of creative culture that are becoming more popular, such as spontaneous sports and parkour, how the built environment is formed is still mostly controlled by the authorities. Meanwhile, most of the children will by any means spontaneously interact with the urban space with their bodies, climbing fences or sliding on rails. However, such play is often seen as dangerous and/or inappropriate behaviour. This significantly indicates the social norms are framing play activities within limited planned areas (playground and schoolyards) and for specific kind of users, or/and the other way around that the physical space are constructing such norms.
