Re-framing Urban Space: Urban Design for Emerging Hybrid and
High-Density Conditions rethinks the role and meaning of urban
spaces through current trends and challenges in urban development.
In emerging dense, hybrid, complex and dynamic urban conditions,
public urban space is not only a precious and contested commodity,
but also one of the key vehicles for achieving socially,
environmentally and economically sustainable urban living. Past
research has been predominantly focused on familiar models of urban
space, such as squares, plazas, streets, parks and arcades, without
consistent and clear rules on what constitutes good urban space,
let alone what constitutes good urban space in 'high-density
context'. Through an innovative and integrative research framework,
Re-Framing Urban Space guides the assessment, planning, design and
re-design of urban spaces at various stages of the decision-making
process, facilitating an understanding of how enduring qualities
are expressed and negotiated through design measures in
high-density urban environments. This book explores over 50 best
practice case studies of recent urban design projects in
high-density contexts, including Singapore, Beijing, Tokyo, New
York, and Rotterdam. Visually compelling and insightful, Re-Framing
Urban Space provides a comprehensive and accessible means to
understand the critical properties that shape new urban spaces,
illustrating key design components and principles. An invaluable
guide to the stages of urban design, planning, policy and decision
making, this book is essential reading for urban design and
planning professionals, academics and students interested in public
spaces within high-density urban development.
