Abstract:

Hong Kong is characterized by its unique high rise and high density urban living environment. Highly compact living environment may encourage less energy consumption in communication because short distance, it also inherent problems of living, such as pollutions and congestion. In the light of sustainable urban development for Hong Kong, it is necessary to obtain a clear picture on the interactions among the compact urban form, life styles and energy use patterns in the particular context of Hong Kong. This research is focusing on the interrelation between the residential form and the travel behaviour of the residents living in high dense residential complex. The objective of the research is to identify morphological characters of the living environment which most likely to decrease motor traffic needs of residents while encouraging pedestrian behaviours. A high dense residential complex albeit dominated by residential use, but including other non residential functions in land use and buildings types in a density above 13,000 population per square kilometre. The objective of this research is to investigate the morphological characters of high dense residential complex in Hong Kong, and its multiple impacts on travel patterns of the residents, and therefore to provide planning strategy which may reduce the energy consumption on communications in city. Specific objectives are: 1) To define and illustrate formation characters of high dense residential complex by applying a morphological theory 2) To map out travel behaviour of residents through user survey 3) To investigate relations between the formation characters and travel behaviour in order to identify the key factors which encourage more pedestrian and reduce the motor traffic. 4) Based on findings, the study will propose a set of general planning guideline for the future housing development. The main questions of the project are: what are the key formation characters of high dense residential complex that help to reduce the residents needs of motor travel? What type of high dense residential complex is associated with better pedestrian environment and more choice pedestrian travel? The findings of study may suggest that the current residential unit planning principles lack careful consideration to the relationship between working and living. A healthier and more sustainable life style may find in high density residential complex with a well balanced uses. Hypothesis: 1. Morphological character of high dense residential complex has a strong impact to the travel mode in daily life of the residents. 2. Higher level of functional mixture in the high dense residential complex is associated with less work travel of residents. 3. Higher level of functional mixture is associated with less non-work travel of residents. 4. Better pedestrian-environment encourages more walking trips to local destinations and strolling within the complex.

Abstract:

This research is a preliminary attempt to explore morphological transformation in high dense housing complex in Hong Kong. Firstly, it discusses the nature of urban density and historical housing estates in a general background of Hong Kong. Secondly it exams representative 20 cases selected from different parts of the city and different period of history. Traditionally a major concept for recognizing historical order among urban landscape phenomena is the morphological period. (Whitehand and Carr 2001, P. 186) Morphological periods provides a convenient shorthand in discussions of urban form, but more consideration needs to be given to how the characteristics that distinguish periods arise, not least the influences, including the influence of existing urban forms, that shapes the ideas of politicians, property owners, architects and builders. Thirdly, it provides a view to illustrating simple concepts relevant to the morphology and management of historical housing estates. Cities are culture and geography’s largest artifact, the product of a very complex play of greatly varied forces. Morphological study differs from some historians and architectural work which mainly focuses on only special buildings and its treatment of buildings as timeless, unchangeable memories of a past. Instead, morphologists focus on investigating the structure and the evolution of the urban-scape, their analyses include all building types, both monumental and ordinary ones. The guiding principles of morphological studies focus not so much on the form of the buildings and their architectural styles but on the relationship between buildings and the surrounding open spaces. The immediate aim of morphological analysis is to identify and describe the constituent parts or elements of housing form and their interaction in formation process.

Abstract:

A movement to create new, landmark public parks has appeared among mid-sized cities in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) during the last decade. This movement represents an important change in the design of public space in China. A new design aesthetic may be emerging that incorporates concepts from international park design, traditional Chinese garden design, and distinctive features of the local environment. The purpose of this research is to explore the global and local context in which these design concepts are emerging. Extensive work has been carried out on emerging design trends in Europe and North America (Cranz 2004, Treib 2000), but little has been done to document contemporary open space design in the world's most populous society. The new landmark parks in China pose interesting questions about local identity, the larger Chinese cultural identity, the globalization of culture, and the impact of political economy on culture. Key issues are related to questions about cultural, local identity, and the need for parks. What are important to examine are the changing needs for leisure and recreation where the urban park embodies the physicality of these needs. Important changes in attitudes toward leisure occurred at the same time as this shift in economic and political power. The Maoist principle that leisure must serve to promote political harmony and social hygiene was relaxed, and spare time became the property of individuals. Under Deng Xiaopeng, leisure time could be used as people pleased, as long as it did not threaten public order (Wang, 1995). The communist revolution and establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949 marked a major transition in the role of parks and a radical movement away from the earlier modernizing, international approach to open space. After the revolution, parks acquired a distinctly utilitarian identity. As Cranz (1979:4) describes it, park design in the communist era had six major goals: 1) to contribute to economic productivity, 2) to provide a place for workers to rest, 3) to raise political consciousness, 4) to popularize science, 5) to show special exhibits, and 6) to beautify the city and extend regional tree-planting programs. A strong anti-urban sentiment prevailed in the Chinese government during this period, particularly in the years of the Cultural Revolution (Chen, 347). Few new urban parks were built, and existing parkland often doubled as a base for agricultural production. As late as the 1970's, Cranz (1979) noted that parks often included areas used to produce timber or edible plants, and fish were systematically harvested from park lakes. The 1980's witnessed another major transformation in Chinese society. Faced by economic crisis, the Chinese government instituted a program of economic reform under the direction of Deng Xiaopeng. Beginning in the late 1970's, Deng's reforms revolutionized the economy and society, creating a radical decentralization of economic and political control in the process. The explosive growth of new "township and village enterprises" that were controlled by municipal governments turned small and mid-sized cities into one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy. This new wealth and autonomy spurred local efforts to increase the visibility of secondary cities and attract the attention of foreign investors (Logan, 2002). Important changes in attitudes toward leisure occurred at the same time as this shift in economic and political power. The Maoist principle that leisure must serve to promote political harmony and social hygiene was relaxed, and spare time became the property of individuals. Under Deng Xiaopeng, leisure time could be used as people pleased, as long as it did not threaten public order (Wang, 1995). Chinese society became increasingly open to the world during this period. Municipal officials often traveled outside China, and a growing number of professional designers were educated in North America and Europe. Ecological concerns also gained importance as the Chinese people began to recognize the toll that rapid industrialization and explosive urban growth were taking on the environment. The confluence of these different factors - growing local power, increasing global exposure, the internationalization of design, changing attitudes toward leisure, and escalating ecological concerns - helped to spawn the movement toward new, landmark urban parks. At the same time, the influence of local government and deeply entrenched Chinese social and cultural nationalism helped to shape the resulting design aesthetic as a form of "global design with a Chinese face."My approach is rooted in a tradition associated with J.B. Jackson (1972) and others (e.g. Hayden, 1995; Moore, 1988; Spirn 1988). Designed landscapes are cultural products formed by the social, economic and political circumstances of a society and period. I also recognize that globalization has radically increased international intellectual and cultural influences (Gobster, 2001; Olin, 1989; Thompson, 2002; Cranz 2004; Treib 1998). The problems I would like to address and examine is whether contemporary Chinese park design represents a coherent, integrated approach to open space design and analyze its relationship to the on-going social transformation of the PRC and their emerging needs for leisure and recreation.
