Recently publicness of architecture & urban spaces and the increase in its social and political interest is getting higher. Over the years, the definition and understanding of publicness has changed and the necessity for a new approach to publicness in architecture & urban spaces has risen.

 This study suggests the direction for increasing contemporary publicness through: analysis of case studies, examination of the change in definition, reports and discussions on publicness and investigates the current recognition status of professionals. It is based on the idea that there should be a change in the definition of publicness to focus on process rather than the result.
