“…In achieving balance, cities should not only have the bustling street with mix use activities but at the same have the provision of quieter streets for residential area. Through vitality, her ideas promote integration across the property lines and relate well to the integrative theory (Sternberg, 2000). This is also accorded by Browser (from Nasar, 1998) who highlighted that people do not really want to see sameness in all parts of the city.…”

“…In the search for an appropriate dimension to evaluate the functional aspects in terms of the level of contextual integration between the waterfront and the urban river, integrative theory of urban design by Sternberg (2000) is found to be closely related to explain the research. He categorised vitality as an important principle related to the functional aspect.…”

Kuala Lumpur waterfront used to be busy with activities when it was once a trading post for the export of tin. The activity at the waterfront has changed over the years along with the city development. This research investigates the level of contextual integration between the waterfront and the urban rivers in terms of its functional dimension. Technique adopted is field observations (building use survey and time interval observation). All researched zones have medium level of contextual integration which depends much on the continuity of activities, their positioning location, accessibility and the provision of space and facilities.

“…These theoretical developments show the futility of isolating the spatial from the social and design from politics in conceptualizing social (public) space (Khan 2013). They also promise the broadening of the concept of spatial quality by analysing the socio-spatial dialectics of 'place-making' and 'social capital formation' through categories such as, 'accessibility and inclusiveness' (Madanipour 2010), 'experiential quality' (Sternberg 2000), 'atmospheres' (Lehtovuori 2010), 'sensorial experiences and image' (Degen and Rose 2012;Khan 2013) and 'publicness and co-production' (Graham and Aurigi 1997;Loeckx and Shannon 2004;Khan 2013).…”

Spatial quality is a contested notion due mainly to its uneven conceptualization and methodological translation across fields in which space is a key concern. This article presents the building up of an inter-and transdisciplinary methodological meta-framework to analyse, assess and work towards spatial quality. It explains the thematic cross-reading of spatial quality across three fields (social innovation in territorial development, strategic spatial planning, urban design). By use of a relational approach connecting seven dimensions of spatial quality and its making, and building on the symbiotic strengths of the three fields, it formulates a metatheoretical framework as the central piece of a coherent joined-up methodological guide to address spatial quality.

“…Analysis of diverse physical environments and cultural contexts across the globe reinforced the apparent universal applicability of Lynch's framework (Kaplan and Kaplan 1981). While Lynch's original study sought to understand the problem of disorientation that he found so detrimental to effective urban life, designers and planners interpreted its apparent universality as a normative template for structuring well-ordered cities (Sternberg 2000;Debord 1994). Indeed, Lynch's later work on urban form also contributed to this interpretation (Lynch 1984B).…”
