借鉴伦敦的实证研究,本文探讨了当代城市公共空间是如何形成的。总之,“上下文”,“过程”和“权力关系”,揭示了一个综合框架的形式,通过时间的旅程,在此期间,当代公共空间,通过在伦敦的公共空间的情况下,本文举例说明,是塑造。外推到更大的城市设计领域,讨论提出了一个理论的城市设计过程作为一个地方塑造的连续体。这个城市设计(或地方塑造)过程,在其所有的复杂性和多样性,有可能锚的城市设计领域,提供了一个核心的智力调查和政策/实践创新。为了说明这一点,本文首先简要审查城市设计作为一个调查的主题。
Drawing on empirical research in London, this paper examines how public spaces in the contemporary city are shaped. Together, the 'contexts', 'processes' and 'power relationships' that are revealed represent an integrated framework in the form of a journey through time during which contemporary public space-exemplified in this paper through the case of public space in London-is moulded. Extrapolating to the larger field of urban design, the discussion advances a theory of the urban design process as a place-shaping continuum. This urban design (or place-shaping) process, in all its complexity and variety, has the potential to anchor the field of urban design, offering a core for intellectual enquiry and policy/practice innovation. To situate this, the paper begins with a brief examination of urban design as a subject for investigation.
