Abstract:The linear infrastructure space, such as motorway, bridge and tunnel, carries the transportation function of material, energy and labor needed for urban development, which leads to the relentless sprawl of the city. In the late stage of urbanization, this kind of infrastructural elements, which was originally built merely for mobility and accessibility, became obstacles to segregate urban spaces and create social isolation. This paper reviews the classic discussion on “border” and “publicization of passage space” and seeks to bridge the gaps in the city with a set of criteria. The paper also reviews a few recent Chinese design practices of municipal facilities by the performance of the “edge space reconstruction,” and provides a reference for the sustainable transformation of infrastructural elements into habitable space in the post-industrial era.
