Abstract

As cities confront mounting challenges, rethinking public space as a critical infrastructure for urban resilience has become urgent. This study examines to what extent place-based solutions, developed in response to future-oriented visions and urban challenges, contribute to the resilience of public space across multiple dimensions. Grounded in a twelve-dimensional urban resilience framework, the research draws upon an analysis of academic studies and integrates expert evaluations to assess the strategic value of proposed interventions. The study follows a multi-step process, beginning with the identification of key challenges and conceptual visions, and proceeding to the evaluation of place-based solutions in terms of their alignment with resilience dimensions. It focuses on three thematic orientations in which public space is envisioned as a hub for well-being, a platform for inclusivity, and an instrument for climate adaptation. Findings reveal an imbalance across resilience dimensions. Diversity, Inclusion, Adaptability, and Flexibility are consistently emphasized, particularly in well-being and equity-related interventions, while Redundancy, Independence, and Resources are underrepresented, revealing gaps in operational resilience and long-term planning. Expert rankings also suggest that climate-oriented strategies are undervalued despite their relevance amid environmental disruption. These results highlight the dominance of socially grounded and human-centered approaches in current visions of future public space, while underscoring the need to strengthen systemic and infrastructural capacities. By combining thematic synthesis with expert validation, the study presents a framework for evaluating the resilience potential of place-based interventions and outlines avenues for future interdisciplinary research and policy innovation toward sustainable and resilient urban futures.
未来城市的公共空间:基于地点解决方案的城市弹性维度映射
随着城市面临越来越多的挑战,重新思考公共空间作为城市韧性的关键基础设施已经变得迫在眉睫。本研究考察了为应对面向未来的愿景和城市挑战而开发的基于场所的解决方案在多大程度上有助于公共空间在多个维度上的弹性。本研究立足于十二个维度的城市韧性框架,借鉴了对学术研究的分析,并整合了专家评估,以评估拟议干预措施的战略价值。该研究遵循了一个多步骤的过程,从确定关键挑战和概念愿景开始,然后根据其与复原力维度的一致性评估基于地点的解决方案。它侧重于三个主题方向,其中公共空间被设想为福祉的中心、包容性的平台和气候适应的工具。研究结果揭示了弹性维度之间的不平衡。多样性、包容性、适应性和灵活性一直被强调,特别是在福利和公平相关的干预措施中,而冗余、独立性和资源的代表性不足,暴露了运营弹性和长期规划方面的差距。专家排名还表明,尽管气候导向战略在环境破坏中具有相关性,但它们被低估了。这些结果突出了以社会为基础和以人为中心的方法在未来公共空间的当前愿景中的主导地位,同时强调了加强系统和基础设施能力的必要性。通过将专题综合与专家验证相结合,该研究提出了一个评估基于地点的干预措施的复原潜力的框架,并概述了未来跨学科研究和政策创新的途径,以实现可持续和有复原力的城市未来。

期刊介绍: Sustainable Cities and Society (SCS) is an international journal that focuses on fundamental and applied research to promote environmentally sustainable and socially resilient cities. The journal welcomes cross-cutting, multi-disciplinary research in various areas, including: 1. Smart cities and resilient environments; 2. Alternative/clean energy sources, energy distribution, distributed energy generation, and energy demand reduction/management; 3. Monitoring and improving air quality in built environment and cities (e.g., healthy built environment and air quality management); 4. Energy efficient, low/zero carbon, and green buildings/communities; 5. Climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban environments; 6. Green infrastructure and BMPs; 7. Environmental Footprint accounting and management; 8. Urban agriculture and forestry; 9. ICT, smart grid and intelligent infrastructure; 10. Urban design/planning, regulations, legislation, certification, economics, and policy; 11. Social aspects, impacts and resiliency of cities; 12. Behavior monitoring, analysis and change within urban communities; 13. Health monitoring and improvement; 14. Nexus issues related to sustainable cities and societies; 15. Smart city governance; 16. Decision Support Systems for trade-off and uncertainty analysis for improved management of cities and society; 17. Big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence applications and case studies; 18. Critical infrastructure protection, including security, privacy, forensics, and reliability issues of cyber-physical systems. 19. Water footprint reduction and urban water distribution, harvesting, treatment, reuse and management; 20. Waste reduction and recycling; 21. Wastewater collection, treatment and recycling; 22. Smart, clean and healthy transportation systems and infrastructure;
