Studies on Environmental Planning and Design Urban Renewal Study for Nakanoshima, Osaka Through the Space Behavioral Approach

摘要

This article presents the methodology to create the over all landscape in the central business district of Osaka. The Nakanoshima area was selected as a case study because of the perceived need for an urban landscape identity. Five basic guidelines were developed from the open space potential analysis of the study area. Nakanoshima was classified into seven zones in order to create areas of identifiable landscape character. These areas were determined by projected use patterns, and will be used to guide future planning and landscape design. In addition, concrete design suggestions were drawn up for specific locations throughout the study area.
