A Normative View of City Building: The Case of Shanghai / 城鎮營造體系之規範理論:以上海市為例

碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 建築學系碩博士班 / 90 / The built environments are results of diversified processes in which various values are embedded. The design/planning professions are long occupied by the attitude of �engineer-plus-beauty?as their norm of practice, as thus, hardly any skepticism that sustains deep review of the current practice can be expected. Nevertheless, this thesis is exactly a try of this kind.

The study emphasizes more on the deontological question of good process of city building than on the telelogical question of good city form. The study is based on the conviction that any city building process is inextricably related to the society in which it practices. It is not the purpose of this study to judge the given system of city building, the intention is to discuss the complexity and the discrepancy between the given system and the system proposed.

Few major issues related to the current developments of Shanghai as a world city are raised by the light of some leading ideas about city building. Role-and-player model is formulated as the analytical tool for the case studies. It is based on the value of democracy and justice, the study proposes a mechanism with such new elements as City Charter, Implementation Timeline, and Citizen Veto Right to be incorporated into the current city building process. To conclude, a few principles are proposed as normative guides for Shanghai, and the steps to be taken towards establishing better city building process.
