关于城市设计能否帮助高密度城市提供可负担住宅的探究——印度孟买的三种空间策略范式

Can Urban Design Intervention Contribute to Affordable Housing in Dense Cities:Three Paradigms of Spatial Strategy in Mumbai,India

根据联合国人居环境署的研究,有超过一亿的低收入人群生活在城市贫民窟或非正式聚居点。针对这种情况,政策制定者与研究者一直试图促进推广"居者有其屋"("可负担住宅")的理念。而在空间策略研究领域的议题则是:什么样的城市设计策略可以帮助解决城市贫困人口的居住问题。随着孟买从单一中心城市转变为一个多中心城市,这是一个非常有意义的时刻,同时也是一个重新审视城市设计空间策略对于解决贫困人口住房问题的绝佳机会。本文将从经济可行性、社会公平和环境可持续性多个维度来探讨高密度城市的城市设计空间策略。

According to the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, there are over 100 million low-income population dwelling in poor living environment often described as urban slums or informal settlements. Policy makers and researchers across disciplines have promoted the concept of ＂adequate housing＂. In the realm of spatial strategies, the question is： What urban design intervention can contribute to housing the urban poor？ As Mumbai transforming from a monocentric to a polycentric city, it is a critical moment as well as a great opportunity to revisit the urban design paradigms for housing the urban poor. This paper discusses spatial strategies for urban design in high density cities in the context of economic viability, social equity, and environment sustainability.
