Feudalisation of open public space

“Privatisation happens in many ways. [...] The fundamental characteristic of public space – its universal accessibility for all – is endangered by increasing control and surveillance.”I Social segregation also contributes to feudalisation, which is another attack on public space. Although no one is talking about it yet, the initial casualties of this feudalisation – due to increased restrictions and costs for accessing public spaces that must be purchased – will not only be fire brigades and other organisers of commercial and entertainment events, including festivities, but also, similar to the scarcity of production spaces, producers of cultural noise or non-profit events in the realm of independent and non-governmental arts and culture.
