Enhancing Spatial Imaginaries of Metropolitan Renaissance: A Regional Design Approach

“…RD makes images travel [34]. RD creates institutional and organizational capacity through spatial representations [14,46].…”

“…The institutionalisation of spatial imaginaries covers their capacity to travel across significant institutional sites of urban and regional governance. This idea of travelling framing ideas, i.e., the use of images, metaphor and narratives, intentionally conceived as "travelling metaphors" [32,33], provides useful insight into the capacity of images to move between different planning and institutional levels, from local to regional and back, and between different planning and governance modes, from soft to statutory and back [34].…”

“…Images, metaphors and narratives produced within the framework of an RD process are expected to address and influence stakeholders' imaginaries. Within this process, RD is the linking element between soft and hard governance modes and connected planning instruments at all levels [34]. Given its nature of interstitial planning [5], it acts as a sort of "free way" to enable images to travel between planning scales and modes [34].…”

Positioning Regional Design in Chinese Territorial Spatial Planning: An Exploratory Project in the Yangtze River Delta Megacity Region

“…Perhaps lessons can be drawn from Europe, where the physical environment (characterized by a highly interconnected constellation of medium-sized cities and spread urbanization) and the need to reconvert the post-industrial economy, have motivated since the late 1990s a shift from sectorial and protective regional planning approaches to the promotion of integrative and actionbased spatial planning strategies across scales [15] [16] . One of the important methods elaborated in this context is regional 供应 [11] 。近年来，由国家主导的《长三角区域一体化发展规划》加快了 长三角巨型城市区的内部协作 [12] 。该规划最初聚焦于长三角交通、能源 和城市服务(包括教育、卫生、旅游等)的一体化，2019年在其新蓝 图中添加了对环境保护、水质和绿地覆盖率的定量目标 [13] ，突显了绿 色发展的特性。此外，近年来开展的规划提案开始认同和保护江南地 区的文化历史和生态价值。以"长江之南"得名的江南地区，因丰富 的湖泊、运河、圩田和标志性的水乡古镇而闻名。2014年，苏州市在 其城市发展战略规划中提出了建设"江南生态湿地和水乡文化带"的 构想，这一文化带贯穿江苏省南部，并向上海和浙江地区延伸。2018 年，位于江浙地区的14座水乡古镇联合申报了世界文化遗产 [14] [17] [18] (图4)。 在区域尺度，这一以设计为主导的规划方法旨在界定具体的干预措施 并协助规划落地，同时有助于推动规划机构、主管部门和地方利益相 关方之间的合作，为交互式治理和多层级治理提供支持 [16] 。 受欧洲先例启发，江南公园项目结合了跨尺度的愿景规划和可视 化方法、跨部门策略以及基于场地的协作式途径，来检视区域设计方 法在长三角巨型城市区的应用潜力。该项目起始于2017年，在10余个 试点场地完成了多尺度的诠释性图绘和设计迭代过程。这些探索有助 于将太湖流域的中部低海拔地带打造为一个多功能的区域性公园，并 推动其发展成为长三角巨型城市区的"绿心"。 3.1 江南地区的跨尺度愿景规划和可视化 当地居民和日常使用者通常对大尺度区域缺乏认知，在这个背景 下，区域设计能够提供相关的解决方案 [19] 。区域设计应用了空间表征的 方法来塑造一种能够重构规划框架的区域心理意象，并通过形成共同 愿景来促进介于法定性规划与战略性规划之间的跨尺度实践 [20]~ [22] 。 design. Regional design primarily deals with a regional territory, either morphological, functional or institutional, and uses visions, spatial concepts or geographic imaginaries as spatial representations for developing design solutions for particular regions [17] [18] (Fig.…”

“…Regional design is relevant for large-scale regions that are currently absent in the imagination of their inhabitants and everyday users [19] . Using spatial representation, the aim of regional design is to elaborate collectively a mental image of the region that rescales the planning framework, but also to develop a shared vision that promotes actions across scales and in-between statutory and strategic planning [20]~ [22] .…”
