The Relationship Between People and Place from the Perspective of Planning and Design Process
摘要
This chapter aims to respond to the original intention of doing this research—identifying limitations and possibilities of current Chinese eco-city development in order to make its planning and design be more humanistic. Thus, in this chapter, it critically explores some constraints on promoting the behavioural connection between people and place as well as some planning initiatives about people-centred approaches, to respond to reasons for the existence of conceptual-practical gap identified in the previous chapter. In addition, through discussions about existing traditional eco-city’s design process, possible improved design process of recommendation for practice has been put forward to demonstrate the implication of behavioural connection between people and place in the eco-city planning development.
