문화공간으로서 도시수변공간의 성공을 결정짓는 5가지 도시디자인 요소에 대한 고찰

Abstract

the first generation of urban waterfront redevelopment in the 1960s, urban waterfront redevelopments have become the world phenomenon and major urban regeneration areas of developed countries during the 1980s and 1990s. This phenomenon still continues around the globe including Asian countries. Substantial literatures have been produced introducing both successful and unsuccessful stories although the criteria accessing the success vary depending on development period, economic circumstance and urban context. Among them, however, successful urban cultural water- fronts are identified and exemplified as models to follow. In addition, they provide useful lessons for urban design approach in designing successful urban cultural waterfront. Thus, the aim of this study is to: 1)look into key urban design elements which lead to success; and 2)examine urban design approach towards the five elements through literature review and site visit of urban waterfronts around the world. Five key urban design elements - 1)urban waterfront form, 2)built environment, 3)events/ programmes, 4)users, and 5)water - are found. Regarding urban design approach to these five elements, a holistic and balanced approach played an important role in the success rather than emphasizing one specific element. In particular, the understanding of the four newly found concepts - 1)waterscape built environment, 2)water surface realm use pattern, 3)designing human capital, and 4)designing events/programmes as a invisible cultural infrastructure - is very important in design urban cultural waterfront.
