All Things Aquatic,Thinking about the Public Design of Urban Water Infrastructure:The Example of Three Urban Water Infrastructures
Water infrastructure is an important part of the city and sustains its daily operation.As an important part of the water infrastructure,pump gates are often detached from the urban environment due to their location and management needs,but are widely distributed within the city.As cities continue to expand,more and more pump gates and cities are becoming more and more closely related.This part of the pump gates located in the city or at the edge of the city may develop into urban public spaces carrying residents'activities.In this paper,three cases of publicization of urban water pump gates are selected:Shenzhen Yangchong River Sluice Gate,Zhejiang Jiaojiang South Bank Shuangzhaqiao Stage and Zhejiang Huzhou Jinmao Tianyuan Pastoral Sluice Gate Transformation.These cases break through the limitation of single function of urban water conservancy infrastructure,and through the response to the environment and the compound of different functions,they realize the combination with urban public life to a certain extent,and contribute to and innovate the diversification of urban public space.Based on the analysis of these three cases,this paper proposes a set of strategies for the publicization of urban water infrastructure,from site selection,implementation strategy to post-operation,to provide reference for the design of future urban water infrastructure.
