red apple"her thinking has been seminal in challenging complacency around notions of designated public space thereby automatically being democratic space"No. Think of the highlighted part as one unit, ignore "thereby" (or just think of it as "therefore"), and think of "being" as "becoming."

oh! So, can I rewrite the second half of it like "the complacency around the idea of the automatic conversion of designated public spaces into democratic spaces"? Does "designated" imply any specific meaning or does it generally mean a public spaces specified for a particular job?
