应对景观挑战:城市设计的规范目标

Addressing the Challenges of Urban Landscapes:Normative Goals for Urban Design

尽管过去二十几年城市设计领域蓬勃发展,但围绕城市环境的问题却仍未得到解决。全球化、移民、数字技术的爆炸以及围绕消费的服务经济都有着重要的空间和设计意义,而如何设计我们的城市还能反映出从气候变化到肥胖的流行等一系列问题。本文将过去几十年社会经济转型的空间意义,探讨城市设计在应对本文列举出的挑战时所扮演的角色及所承担的义务。

Despite the flourishing of the urban design field over the last quarter of a century,many of the issues and problems haunting urban environments have not been resolved.Forces such as globalization,immigration,the explosion of digital technologies,and the rise of a service economy centred on consumption have important spatial and design implications,while how we design our cities may have repercussions on a variety of concerns ranging from climate change to the epidemic of obesity.The paper traces some of the spatial implications of socioeconomic shifts during the last decades,and explores the role and responsibility of urban design in addressing the outlined challenges.
