Popis: Under the contemporary compact cities paradigm of sustainability, public spaces have become increasingly important and are increasingly contested. This article uses real property rights as a lens through which to analyse this contestation in an Australian city, focusing on the Darling Harbour scheme in Sydney as a vehicle for exploration. Applying an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to test a “mosaic” of property rights, we map Darling Harbour as a heterogeneous urban commons comprising a set of spaces, each with their own distinct perceived (and real) property rights and conditions that potentially constrain who enjoys such spaces in the contemporary city.
