Translations:Gathering Responsibly in Public Spaces/5/en

A common misunderstanding is that public accessibility implies an absence of norms. In practice, public spaces tend to carry denser expectations than private ones, because more parties have an interest in how they are used. Local regulations regarding noise, alcohol, open flames, amplified sound, group size, and the use of park furniture vary considerably between cities and countries, and they are not always intuitive to visitors.
