As an increasing numbers of people move into the cities, the need of places for community in such cities is required. Urban open spaces have already take a huge part in people`s daily life. It is expected that a high quality of places can be created for people. The urban open spaces design played an important role in modern urban design and planning. Squares and plazas developed a lot in city centres. But there is a problem that it is hard to build new open spaces in the historic city centres as the spaces is very limited. The genesis of this research came from two distinct sources. First, there are a number of factors which influence urban design. The surroundings, memories and the experiences of the city for people can be defined as contexts. ‘Contexts’ constrain and inform all areas of urban design action. Second, there was a need for people to have a special pleasure from the sight of public spaces. With a focus on the urban design, the main factors presented here are the open spaces. The role and meaning of the elements that play in urban design and the ways in which they are designed, developed and detailed are the most important elements for landscape architects to research and consider. In the end of this paper, the author developed a series of general design process and some design ideas as basis of design model of urban open space for the urban history context extending.

Η διαμόρφωση και ο σχεδιασμός των ανοιχτών χώρων σε μια πόλη καθορίζει την ποιότητα ζωήςκαι το περιβάλλον σε αυτή. Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι η εισαγωγή περιβαλλοντικώνκριτηρίων στην διαδικασία σχεδιασμού των αστικών ελεύθερων χώρων.Αρχικά αναλύονται οι συνθήκες άνεσης σε υπάρχοντες αστικούς ελεύθερους χώρους της Κρήτης που έχουν επανασχεδιαστεί την τελευταία δεκαετία, όπου τεκμηριώνεται η άποψη ότι απαιτείται να ενταχθούν κλιματολογικοί και μικροκλιματικοί παράγοντες κατά τον σχεδιασμό. Για την απλή ενσωμάτωση από οποιοδήποτε αρχιτέκτονα της νέας «ενεργειακής παλέτας σχεδιασμού» χωρίς την απαίτηση χρήσης πολύπλοκων υπολογιστικών εργαλείων και δυναμικών μοντέλων δημιουργείται εργαλείο καθορισμού των παραμέτρων άνεσης για τους καλοκαιρινούς μήνες που το πρόβλημα χρήσης του ελεύθερου χώρου είναι περισσότερο απαιτητικό και δύσκολο.Τέλος για τεκμηριωμένη μελέτη και καθορισμό των βιοκλιματικών δεικτών που διέπουν τουςαστικούς ελεύθερους χώρους δημιουργείται αναλυτική μεθοδολογία βιοκλιαμτικού σχεδιασμού αστικών ελεύθερων χώρων που ενσωματώνει τόσο την φάση σχεδιασμού, υλοποίησης και επαλήθευσης των αποτελεσμάτων του σχεδιασμού. Με την εφαρμογή της προτεινόμενης μεθοδολογίας συντελείται διαμόρφωση του μικροκλίματος των υποπεριοχών μελέτης καθώς και περιορισμός των εκπομπών ρύπων ώστε οι χώροι που δημιουργούνται να μπορούν να είναι βιώσιμοι και λειτουργικοί. Η μελέτη περιλαμβάνει επίσης εφαρμογή και επαλήθευση της προτεινόμενης μεθοδολογίας σε ποικιλία χώρων στην Κρήτη.

In 1880, when the British moved their Federated Malay States administrative centre to Kuala Lumpur, the Padang quickly became a symbol of British economic and administrative colonisation, and a nucleus of the socio-cultural development of Kuala Lumpur. This paper discusses the layers of history, symbolism and cultural values that the Padang contributes to the socio-cultural tapestry of both Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia, and the lack of relevant planning and heritage measures to conserve these attributes and characteristics. The conclusions offer avenues to engage with pre- and post-colonisation that enable re-making and the conservation of the iconic space of Kuala Lumpur.Keywords: Urban open space; Merdeka Square; Kuala Lumpur City Hall; National Heritage Act 2005eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

AbstractAn urban mobility transition requires a transition in space allocation, since most mobility modes are dependent on urban open space for circulation and the storage of vehicles. Despite increasing attention to space and spatiality in transitions research, the finite, physical aspects of urban space, and the means by which it is allocated, have not been adequately acknowledged as an influence on mobility transitions. A conceptual framework is introduced to support comparison between cities in terms of the processes by which open space is (re-)distributed between car and bicycle circulatory and regulatory space. This framework distinguishes between regulatory allocation mechanisms and the appropriation practices of actors. Application to cases in Amsterdam, Brussels and Birmingham reveal unique relationships created by the zero-sum nature of urban open space between the dominant automobility mode and subordinate cycling mode. These relationships open up a new approach to forms of lock-in that work in favour of particular mobility modes within the relatively obdurate urban built environment. Empirically, allocation mechanisms that routinise the production of car space at national level within the EU are shown to be far more prevalent than those for bicycle space, highlighting the constraints faced by radical city-level policies aimed at space reallocation.
