当代城市内开放空间的提供在很大程度上依赖于关于城市空间在居民生活中的重要性的专业假设。本文介绍了格林威治开放空间项目的结果，该项目使用定性研究和四个深入的讨论小组来确定对该行政区家庭的问卷调查的设计。研究表明，最有价值的开放空间是那些提高城市生活积极品质的空间：多样化的机会和物理环境；社交能力和文化多样性。这些发现为城市保护运动的方法提供了一些支持，但对大伦敦发展计划中体现的开放空间等级制度提出了根本挑战。该项目确定了当地对自然环境和社会设施多样性的巨大需求，并突出了城市绿地改善所有公民生活质量的潜力。
Contemporary provision of open spaces within cities rests largely on professional assumptions aboutitssignificance in the lives of residents. This paper presents results from the Greenwich Open Space Project which used qualitative research with four, in-depth discussion groups to determine the design of a questionnaire survey of households in the borough. The research shows that the most highly valued open spaces are those which enhance the positive qualities of urban life : variety of opportunities and physical settings; sociability and cultural diversity. The findings lend some support to the approach of the urban conservation movement but present a fundamental challenge to the open-space hierarchy embodied in the Greater London Development Plan. The Project identifies a great need for diversity of both natural settings and social facilities within local areas and highlights the potential of urban green space to improve the quality of life ofallcitizens.
