公共空間,在數位化時代的熔爐裡正在經歷著解構和重塑。得益于現代城市價值交換方式的轉型，公共空間在城鄉環境中不再僅僅承擔休閒、交往等簡單用途，或者簡單地扮演者生產功能的配角，而是日益轉變為集研發、生產、交易、社交、休閒、教育等多種功能於一體的核心價值交換場所。
本書適合從事城市規劃、城市建設綜合開發、建築設計、環境景觀設計及城市管理的專業人士與研究者閱讀。

The advent of the digital revolution has drawn a line of demarcation between two worlds—one is the old pre-digital epoch featuring manual means of transportation and bustling streets; the other is the emerging digital era characteristic of a flood of data transmission.Against the background of such a dramatic transformation, the means of value exchange in human society has changed fundamentally, from the exchange of tangible substance to simulated energy flow and finally to digitalized energy flow. Consequently, every concept of urban and rural space that is familiar to us is being tested. The digital revolution is sparking a brand-new social panorama.The same is true of public space, a concept that has been the research subject for thousands of times. Due to the transformation of the means of value exchange in urban cities, the public space has gradually broken away from its stereotypical role in providing simple services such as recreation, interactionand production for urban and rural dwellers, and become a multi-functional place for R&D, production, transactions, social interaction, leisure and education where core values are exchanged.In addition, the virtual world created by digital era and the real world represented by public space form an attractive coupling. Affected by the burgeoning development of the virtual world, the public space is striving to mix with it for an upgrade. It is predictable that propelled by digital technologies, themesmerizing public space will, thanks to its popularity and the avalanche of data, embrace huge potentials which once tapped into will trigger enormous social and economic values.Naturally, it will be an important target to establish a kind of public space that meets the demand of the digital era as well as involves various appealing activities for future residential environment. Then, how to design, evaluate and anticipate the popularity of the public space in the digital era? The main contents of this book will explain the question.This book adopts two major methods for further exploration.Firstly, a combination of theoretical summary and empirical research. Through research into the digital revolution’s fundamental influence on the social development, a deduction of the evolutionary trend of public space and an analysis of its current developmental stage in terms of social interaction, situation experience and innovative amusement are thusly achieved. Subsequently, SEC modal is established and its application and effects are analyzed through empirical research.Secondly, a comparison between China and Europe. As two major economic blocs and civilization, China and Europe both boast a long history as regards the development of public space, but they are different in the public space’s design and operation. Therefore, the comparison between China and Europeof their specific characteristics of public space reflects the impact of digital revolution on public space, and renders some useful advice about future trend.
