Everyday life is challenging in our cities, especially because public spaceshave generally been arranged and designed by considering the physical environment and withoutconsideration for how these spaces should facilitate human interactions. This paper identifies“in-between spaces” as key scenarios for addressing this issue. These spaces offer the opportunity to feel comfortable and safe, foster a sense of community, and facilitate connections.Little has been written about these spaces and, particularly, their characteristics. Therefore,the objective of this study is to provide a more in-depth understanding of in-between spaces byexamining literature on such spaces throughout city history.The results underscore the threshold character as the primary feature of in-between spacesand define various types of in-between spaces depending on their position within the gradientbetween public and private domains. The analysis also identified recurring characteristics, suchas presence of reproductive labor, vegetation, or amenities, tendency to be programmed or unprogrammed within interior or exterior spaces and establishes relationships between these characteristics. Furthermore, the results suggest that the values promoted by these spaces and theirrecurring features can offer solutions to regenerate cities.展开更多

Considering the existing dilemma faced by old communities and based on the practice of community renewal of different scales in recent years, this paper proposes that the design for community renewal should consider not only the spatial structure of communities at the macro level, but also the needs of daily life at the micro level. It can help efficiently transform the existing space into public space that encourages residents’ participation and promote community vitality, to achieve a humanistic value beyond the physical environment.展开更多
