도시디자인의 트렌드 : 세계주요도시의 사례분석을 중심으로

Abstract

A city, in which is contained the lives of its people, is an evolving organism. This means that urban design is a constantly evolving series of processes as well. The 21st century is the urban century-the century of the city. Competition between cities is becoming more and more fierce and prominent cities are turning to urban design as a way of gaining competitive power, boosting the quality of life of their citizens and creating innovative economic advantages through making themselves more attractive. Urban Design is a science which exists to create positive life experiences for those who dwell in cities. It is based on Experience drawn from the past and used to innovate solutions for tomorrow. Thanks to the wisdom gained through past experience we can integrate modern knowledge with that experience to create a new 3rd perspective on Urban Design. Urban Design isn’t just about shaping buildings, but about shaping societies and producing psychological responses from the people who dwell within physical urban environments. This new 3rd perspective makes cities livable by enabling citizens to communicate intrinsically with the urban environment around them. This research paper attempts to analyze the urban design projects going on in prominent world cities and extract key trends which can be applied to urban design policies.
