Lecture 3, in turn focusses Public space. Public space is considered as commercial and civic space, a concept that gains prominence in the colonial city but with anecdotal references in the Zamani era. What emerges is that private and public domains were fused prior to the modernization of the colonial city in the region. Trade, for instance, is through barter contracts that easily migrate between social and economic domains in the Zamani era. Such transactions were easily within private domestic space that was rendered obsolete in the colonial urbanism. Similarly, civic space was largely an extrapolation of domestic space in form and function in the zamani era. Colonial public space formalised both commercial and civic space as examples from Nairobi, Kenya illustrate. In Nairobi, typical with most regional cities, the early use of neo-classical expression was succeeded by Modernism with its minimalistic aesthetic expression. In the region a tropical modernist style was noted and still persists.
