Rahovec’s Central City Square in Kosovo speaks to an evolving idea of urban public space. To the northeast of the current square is the old city center, which was organized around a fountain and a tall post.  It served as a singular gathering spot centered on the shared resource of water.  This type of open space constructed a place of unity and belonging through challenging times, yet it also encouraged a sense of conformity.  As the city developed, the central square was moved lower into the plains, where it currently struggles to establish a collective identity.  The prominent memorial to Toni and Mici commemorating the Kosovo War certainly constructs national identity, but such memorials fail to celebrate difference. Moreover, the city today serves a diverse group of users—including women and men, children and the elderly, able-bodied and the differently abled, tourists and locals, and even pets and wild animals. Representing vastly different needs and preferences, these groups have expressed multiple visions for the future of Central City Square.
