TY - GEN A1 - Breidenbach, Samuel T1 - Urban Public as a Phenomenon of Communication T2 - European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes : CPCL N2 - The article describes the theory of German sociologist Hans-Paul Bahrdt, who characterizes a special form of communication in cities and urban places. This reflection on the phenomenon of communication in the urban public are traced from a system-theoretical perspective and further transferred on the concept of ‘non-places’ by Marc Augé. This comparison should provide information about which signs and communicative codes in the urban public are able to express the identity of the city and the people living in it. Finally, these considerations will be compared with contemporary approaches of architectural semiotics and urban design.
