Research On Urban Cultural Space Creation Based On The Social Innovation Perspective

Social innovation perspective emphasizes the needs of people,follows the principle of common cooperation,to promote the social problems solving.In practice,it regards design thinking as a methodology,emphasizes the practice of "locals solve the internal problems",and takes the initiative in depth,around the place,to seek the balance between humanistic care,technical feasibility and business interests.This paper,focus on the subject of urban cultural space creation with this perspective.It finds that under the background of urbanization,the construction of urban cultural space under the guidance of rational planning takes "visiting" as the primary goal,results to the urban cultural space in the absence of sense of place,the connection between people and space is weak,and the new cultural space creation model has appeared.These problems need new management thinking.This paper attempts to build a framework of social innovation and urban cultural space creation,and also make some efforts on strategic exploration.We expands the discussion on the basis of such question: why create the urban cultural space? How create and create for whom? The paper takes the formation mechanism of urban cultural space as the theoretical framework.Based on the space production theory,we firstly define that the cultural space is formed by the individuals' socialized production.It has certain spiritual significance.In the composition of cultural space,space is the foundation,the participant is the main body and the activity is the intermediary between person and space.Secondly,under the background of urbanization,we deduct the dynamic process of the spatial memory,The Others' construction and the individual experience from the two dimensions of time and space.Thirdly,according to this framework,this paper points out that the global and top-down dominant model leads to the dilemma of the current urban cultural space,in particular,the globalization dispels the spatial memory,the planning path excludes the participants,and the consumerism destroys the link between person and space.Finally,we combine the social innovation perspective and design thinking practice,make some suggests on urban cultural space creation.On one hand,update the thinking,use "create" to coordinate "planning" : design cultural space for the real needs;constitute the social network,and create a relationship between person and space.On the other hand,learn from design thinking in operational level,trimmed the idea from top to bottom: rethink the space memory based on the demand;promote co-operation,allow more participation in the construction process,and the government serves as a "curator" of culture,create a link between person and space.
