Making the Most of Urban Space

Major increases in city land values, a side-effect of a revived appreciation for urbanity, 推动了规划者, developers and designers to reconsider formerly 被忽视的空间. To maximize the value of these spaces, a creative and pragmatic outlook regarding formerly “in between” or unused spaces has emerged and is illustrated in projects like New York’s 高架的 和迈阿密的 下划线. 这个令人兴奋的新 generation of designs is continuing to develop, with new projects such as Toronto’s 在加德纳 和纽约的 花园. The enhanced use of space is a positive step towards more livable cities, as long as cities and designers harness their distinct characteristics, rather than merely dreaming of “the next 高架的”. With an eye for local strengths, the marriage of market and creativity can be a powerful force to improve our cities.
