Urban planners have paid more attention to the concept of the pocket park as modern cities become denser and buildings taller. As the pace of urbanisation accelerates and populations increase, particularly in larger cities, there becomes much less park space available for people to enjoy. With less investment and area required, 'Pocket Parks' could provide a solution. They fulfil the need for highly sought-after leisure spaces, which can operate in high-density city environments, bypassing the hurdle of space. These beautiful green areas increase the ecological benefits of the urban environment, helping to enrich and satisfy the local residents' lives. Pocket Park Design introduces the outstanding landscape architects and designers who create pocket parks. Pocket parks should be located where they are safe and convenient to access, as well as providing open spaces that are comfortable, functional, and pleasant for park visitors. While the areas of a pocket park will generally cater to a variety of demographics, specific spaces or activity areas may be provided for dominant user groups, such as children, workers, or the elderly. This book studies the pocket park's characteristics, as well as the relationship between humanity and the surrounding landscape. It will be a great source of inspiration to landscape designers.

The interplay of psychology, design, and politics in experiments with urban open space As suburbanization, racial conflict, and the consequences of urban renewal threatened New York City with “urban crisis,” the administration of Mayor John V. Lindsay (1966–1973) experimented with a broad array of projects in open spaces to affirm the value of city life. Mariana Mogilevich provides a fascinating history of a watershed moment when designers, government administrators, and residents sought to remake the city in the image of a diverse, free, and democratic society. New pedestrian malls, residential plazas, playgrounds in vacant lots, and parks on postindustrial waterfronts promised everyday spaces for play, social interaction, and participation in the life of the city. Whereas designers had long created urban spaces for a broad amorphous public, Mogilevich demonstrates how political pressures and the influence of the psychological sciences led them to a new conception of public space that included diverse publics and encouraged individual flourishing. Drawing on extensive archival research, site work, interviews, and the analysis of film and photographs, The Invention of Public Space considers familiar figures, such as William H. Whyte and Jane Jacobs, in a new light and foregrounds the important work of landscape architects Paul Friedberg and Lawrence Halprin and the architects of New York City’s Urban Design Group. The Invention of Public Space brings together psychology, politics, and design to uncover a critical moment of transformation in our understanding of city life and reveals the emergence of a concept of public space that remains today a powerful, if unrealized, aspiration.

All rights not granted by the above license are retained by the author. Abstract: Hong Kong as an intense city, public spaces are very limited. However, the current designs of these public parks are usually driven by greening ratio (set from the HKPSG), limited construction cost and required of low maintenance. With such limitation a standard choice of facilities and programs were formed, which leads to the appearance of public parks are all the same. Furthermore, the facilities and program provided in these parks are usually targeted for children and elderly. It is believed that public spaces are belongs to everyone from different background and age groups, the restriction is distorting the meaning of public. It has also been observed that the spatial quality of such restricted public parks have a lower value in terms of the user population during the day. And by comparing to some undefined public spaces, such as Sai Yeung Choi Street and some bypass near ferry port like the Sai Wan public cargo working area, these areas have no strict regulation or facilities provided, but the spaces are flexible that can enhance a wider range of activities for different ages groups. Modification is easily allowed for users to make the space personal, which is the reason of its famous in visit. Base on these examples, it is suggested that the current approach on urban parks design may not be suitable anymore. Through observation on human interaction towards these open spaces, analyse the success and failure of the park program. Thereby to recalibrate a new idea on park design that can improve the current spatial quality at the same time can collaborate with the Pubic Management needs on easy maintenance. The goal is to get the most out of these limited public spaces. Subjects: Parks - China - Hong Kong - Planning
