芝加哥千禧公园——城市滨水空间的开发实例

Chicago Millenary Park: An Exploitation Example of City's Waterfront Space

近代工业的发展曾经使河流的运输作用成为主体,进入20世纪,传统运输业的衰落也为芝加哥遗留许多废弃的滨水地带。滨水空间的开发日益成为当今城市开发的热点。本文通过对芝加哥湖滨千禧公园的介绍,阐明了滨水空间从传统的运输、工业中心,成为城市开放空间和公共艺术中心的转变。

In the historic cradle of the skyscraper, Chicago, the decline of the abattoirs and steelworks left a strip on the south shore of Lake Michigan near railroads. Millennium Park, with its downtown location and 24 hectares, is now creating a newimage for this old industry and commercial centre as it converts to public activities and art centre.
