Public space, as we know it, is a designated area in a governed human settlement that is accessible to everyone. As it is named, public space functions as a place for public gathering—one of the earliest examples is the square in ancient Greek metropolis and similar space that other cities built through the span of the last millennium. The more recent takes on public spaces include parks, pedestrian path as well as other accessible infrastructure, and sometimes, institutional buildings. Public space then functions more than as a place to gather, but also to relax, spend time doing almost anything, up to being a deliberate pause in a dense urban design, and as an ecological element, for instance, an area of water reserve or for nature to thrive.

Two years ago, when MRT Jakarta and many of the now-opened public spaces in the city had not yet existed, the idea of hanging out and strolling in some parks were deemed peculiar. With most of the public parks in Jakarta being gated, rarely maintained and poorly lit in the evening, parks were not the place of choice for people to spend their time. Parks, like those surrounding Monumen Nasional, were only popular on weekends or holidays, and people preferred to be in an air-conditioned mall, whiling their time away.
