That\u2019s how the pedestrian sees it \u2014&nbsp;and the inhabitants of towns where pavements exist. But is this still really the case? Is the sidewalk still a public space that can be freely used by everyone in all circumstances?\n\nIsabelle Baraud-Serfaty, a specialist in urban matters, raises the question here and shows how the sidewalks that run beside our towns\u2019 roadways have evolved over time. From being a symbol of the \u2018infrastructure city\u2019, they have become a relevant issue in the age of the new mobilities and functionalities associated with the \u2018smart\u2019 city. In this regard, the sidewalk is increasingly becoming a coveted space for the operators of digital platforms: a new \u2018data\u2019 level is developing on the sidewalk (or, more particularly, the curb), which can be exploited for providing services to users, but also for commercial ends. It has, in fact, become essential, according to Baraud-Serfaty for towns and local authorities to integrate the sidewalk into their public governance of urban spaces, and for it to be regulated, so that the information it conveys or harbours isn\u2019t seized or monetized by private operators at the expense of users. Lastly, these developments require us to regard sidewalks and, going beyond that, what she calls the urban \u2018ground level\u2019 as new \u2014&nbsp;strategic&nbsp;\u2014 \u2018commons\u2019, whose public interest functions must be preserved.<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018The sidewalk belongs to everyone\u2019 is a phrase you sometimes hear when a difference of opinion arises over the use of public space.
