Abstract

When people think about our cities, they tend to think of certain things. They think of buildings and streets, skyscrapers and noisy cabs. But our cities are fundamentally about people, and about where people go and where people meet. They are at the core of what makes a city work. So even more important than buildings in a city are the public spaces in between them. So that lively, enjoyable public spaces are the key to planning a great city. They are what makes it come alive. In this thesis, make human become the core of urban design. Figure out what makes a public space work? What attracts people to successful public space, and what is it about an unsuccessful place that keeps people away? A successful public space not only satisfies people's behavior but also meet people's emotion. Point out five senses and service design are the design of satisfying people's emotional needs. Nowadays, there are a lot of reason limit us to create successful public spaces. People use the public space face many challenges, especially nature disasters, and terrorist attacks. But even the worst of public spaces, after the disaster, also can use ve senses and service design to change them better. So I think if we can always use some design approach to satisfy people's emotion, I believe we can get more and more enjoyable public space and make our cities work. Public spaces have power. People stay here because they are having a great time.
