Abstract

Young industrial landscapes (YILs), dating roughly from the 1930s to 1970s, are by virtue of their location, size, and partly underused capacity potential new locations for urban redevelopment driven by municipalities and private investors. However, such redevelopment often neglects existing physical characteristics including heritage and ecological potentials. This paper raises awareness and knowledge of these potentials by examining YILs’ spatial characteristics as part of the process of elaborating their future roles as sites for urban transformation. We develop a typo-morphological approach to analyse the physical structure of YILs in the Copenhagen capital area, revealing both general and site-specific qualities relevant for future transformations. We find that YILs’ locations and edge zones hold potential for mediating access between cities and green wedges. Site-specific scenic locations, significant earthworks, plantings, and buildings have potential for reuse and contribute spatial ambience. The paper finally discusses how typo-morphology might be understood from a YIL perspective.

摘要

年轻工业景观 (YIL) 的历史大致可追溯至 1930 年代至 1970 年代，凭借其位置、规模和部分未充分利用的产能，成为由市政当局和私人投资者推动的城市再开发的潜在新地点。然而，这种重建往往忽视了现有的物理特征，包括遗产和生态潜力。本文通过研究 YIL 的空间特征，作为阐述其作为城市转型场所的未来角色的过程的一部分，提高了人们对这些潜力的认识和了解。我们开发了一种类型形态学方法来分析哥本哈根首都地区 YIL 的物理结构，揭示与未来转型相关的一般和特定地点的质量。我们发现，YIL 的位置和边缘区域具有调解城市和绿色楔形区之间通道的潜力。特定地点的风景区、重要的土方工程、植物和建筑物具有再利用的潜力，并有助于营造空间氛围。本文最后讨论了如何从 YIL 的角度理解拼写错误形态。
