dc.description.abstract |
Most Asian cities are characterised by rapid urban metamorphosis and mostly the urban changes are
based on planning mechanisms through spatial and land use methodologies and supported by
globalization. In Colonial-contemporary cities, it is often seen that recent planning and development
approaches undermine the cultural representation and memory of the place in their transformation
process.
The study is scoped within the discussion of morphology, in relation to urban transformation and
planning, in the context of urban settings (places) in Pettah, Colombo. It aims to re-examine cultural
continuity in relation to the memory of a place in transforming urban settings. Methodologically, urbancultural
morphological study couples with spatial anthropology for field investigation and data
transcoded into urban design planning schemata. Referring the literature on this subject area, certain
parameters to measure the appropriate cultural transformation have been identified and the analysis of
this situation is supported by the observations and personal communications.
The research has identified the socio physical and socio cultural relationships of transforming urban
settings which are meant to be regeneration of built masses but, mostly the renovations for irreplaceable
urban settings where people celebrate the sense of place. |
