- Abstract
The objective of the article is to disclose the peculiarities of the Vilnius urban public spaces system. Due to a complex historical development of Vilnius, the Vilnius urban public spaces system experienced various influences from the West and the East. During the development of the Vilnius urban public spaces system, some parts of the system were planned and designed in line with the tendencies of planning of public spaces in one time period, while other public spaces experienced different influences and were developed during different time periods. As a result of this complex development and different influences, an uneven Vilnius urban public spaces system was formed, with its denser network of public spaces in some parts of the city and not so dense in other parts of the city. This public spaces distribution unevenness manifests in the fact that there is a higher concentration of public places in the central part of the city, especially in the Old Town, while in the "sleeping" suburbs or the Soviet-era residential areas there are less public places and the network of public places is less developed. This article gives an overview of the concept of public space and the concept of public spaces system, as well as an opportunity to see the Vilnius urban public spaces system, its features and problematic areas from a different view. In this article it was found out that the Vilnius urban public spaces system was developed in different ways. In some parts of Vilnius, such as the Old Town, or in general, in the central part of the city, the public spaces system has more or less developed its network with more public spaces, while in other parts of Vilnius, such as the suburbs or the Soviet-era residential areas, there are fewer public spaces or a shortage of them.
