Sumario:The author´s proposal is to consider the public/private as a materialization of the shared/reserved (or social/ intimate), instead of taking it as a coincidence of the political/economical. In this sense, the author considers the city as a concrete result of what is public, an expression of social order, a will to live together and not an opportunity for an open space to any passer-by (as it may happen in the countryside or in the mountains). In order to achieve his objective, Monnet wonders about the relationship between public space and commerce (concrete expression of ''urbanity'') and he analyses the common aspects which the role of commerce plays within the public space in three cases of ''Western'' cities: Toulouse, Mexico city and Los Angeles.
