City marketing by facilitating cultural resources has been one of the major strategies for cities to be competitive in a globalized society. Development of cultural space in downtown area of a certain city is considered substantially valuable to reinforce the identity and competitiveness of the city. For more strategic implementations, this study produces a basic framework of cultural space formation types in downtown area, which can be used as a conceptual basis to set up models of cultural space development. First of all, the appropriate kinds of cultural facilities in downtown were defined, and the basic principles of cultural space development were established accordingly. On the basis of these criteria, ten cases were selected from major Asian cities for case study. As a result, four common strategies of cultural space development have been found out, each of which was conceptualized into a certain type of cultural space formation. First type is 'associating the cultural space with the objective facilities', which can be applied to the additional space of major facilities in downtown, such as a city hall or a subway station. Second type is 'remodeling and utilizing the idle facilities' on the purpose of cultural use. This type can make the best use of the historic buildings which are not currently used. Third type is 'reinforcing the existing cultural resources by conglomeration of small-scaled cultural spaces', which has a potential to maximize the efficiency of concentrated small-size cultural spaces. And the last type is 'consolidating the public space into culture-friendly space', which can be applied to the park and the major street of downtown. |
