| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to analyse and evaluate an urban design method of "Urban Village Strategy" in Seattle. Seattle represents a case of successful urban regeneration through the urban village strategy, including sustainable urban design; community planning and growth management. To be more specific, the urban general plan and the neighborhood plan suggest the direction that they should pursue in mutual complementation with each other, in order to maximize the public investment interest on the urban infrastructure and service, to make pedestrian-oriented communities and facilitate. As a conclusion, the urban village strategy, representing a model of making sustainable local area, has three major characteristics. First, the urban village strategy connects the regional policy of growth-management with urban regeneration and binds up all various urban policies. Second, the urban village strategy revitalizes the local community based on public project regeneration. Third, the urban village strategy is making strategical district townscapes by controlling private designs. |
