Th is study analyzes the relationship between structural design and social behavior within an urban public
space, using Winnipeg Central Park as a case study. Th e fi ndings suggest that the structural dimensions
leading to geographical isolation, paired with a lack of upkeep of the area have a signifi cant eff ect upon social
behavior. Case studies of a decaying historical monument, a 1985 park addition and a large commercial
development further illustrate the point that structural design heavily infl uences social behavior.
