Small urban spaces: part 9 ‐ case study: St Paul’s Square, York

This is the ninth and final article in the Small Urban Spaces series and describes by way of a case study the sort of approach and attention that some more modest, but nevertheless important, squares and gardens ought to be rewarded. The green places, as well as the “hard” spaces and little corners that surround our buildings may deserve, perhaps, as much consideration as the properties nearby. This case study may assist readers in developing their own techniques in appraising these valuable small open spaces.
