Abstract

ABSTRACT Public spaces are believed to make cities more liveable, healthy and socially equal. To date, discussions about public spaces have primarily revolved around emblematic types, such as squares and parks, while little attention has been paid to cemeteries. Drawing on a review of public space scholarship and cemetery research, an analysis of strategies for cemetery development in two Scandinavian capitals, Oslo and Copenhagen, and interviews with stakeholders, this paper elaborates on the cemetery as a special type of public space. Our findings demonstrate the potential of cemeteries’ contribution to the urban environment as multifunctional public spaces – the trajectory envisioned by the two municipalities.

城市墓地作为公共空间的未来:来自奥斯陆和哥本哈根的见解

摘要公共空间被认为可以使城市变得更宜居、更健康、更平等。到目前为止，关于公共空间的讨论主要围绕着象征性的类型，如广场和公园，而很少关注墓地。本文通过对公共空间学术和墓地研究的回顾，对斯堪的纳维亚两个首都奥斯陆和哥本哈根的墓地发展战略的分析，以及对利益相关者的采访，阐述了墓地作为一种特殊类型的公共空间。我们的研究结果证明了墓地作为多功能公共空间对城市环境的贡献潜力——这是两个城市所设想的轨迹。

期刊介绍： Planning Theory & Practice provides an international focus for the development of theory and practice in spatial planning and a forum to promote the policy dimensions of space and place. Published four times a year in conjunction with the Royal Town Planning Institute, London, it publishes original articles and review papers from both academics and practitioners with the aim of encouraging more effective, two-way communication between theory and practice. The Editors invite robustly researched papers which raise issues at the leading edge of planning theory and practice, and welcome papers on controversial subjects. Contributors in the early stages of their academic careers are encouraged, as are rejoinders to items previously published.
