dc.description.abstract |
Rapid urbanization has created low-income settlements in developing
countries in all parts of the globe. The informal public spaces arean
important and essential component of these settlements. They are strongly
connected to the life patterns and needs of the occupants. The organically
evolved informal spaces are functional, active and lively. It is seen that
designed public landscaped spaces of newly constructed high-rise apartment
complexes for the low-income lack a vibrant environment. Under such
circumstances the users abandon such spaces. Functional landscaped spaces
affect the quality of the life of the people as well as the strength of the
urban fabric.
Many scholars have contributed to the development ofplacemakingtheory,
which explains how built environment is converted toplaces, which works
exceptionally well with the users.
This research investigates the issue of placemaking in reference to
functionality and livability of the informal public spaces in low- income
settlement. Placemaking helps people to collectively reimagine and reinvent
public spaces as the heart of the community. Emphasizing
theconnectionbetween people and the spaces, placemaking refers to a
collaborative process by which the public realm can be shaped in order to
maximize shared values. Accordingto the theoretical analysis of
placemaking, places should possess qualitiessuch as mixed use (sociability),
Accessand linkages, flexible and hybridity, self-satisfaction, comfort and
safety.
The outcome of the research explains how the informal public spaces of the
low – income settlement havebecome livable and functional due to the
strong connection to placemaking |
