Thesis Statement\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Inserted communities for temporary gathering in public space relieve the congestion of circulatory pedestrian.<\/p>\n Context\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Traffic jams happened frequently when someone stops inside the fast and intensive flow of circulation. Well known as one of the highest density cities, Hong Kong owns most narrow and crowded pedestrians in the world. Therefore, reducing the temporary detention on sidewalks is the key to prevent circulatory congestion.<\/p>\n The temporary detention and occupation of sidewalks is subject to regular periodicity.<\/p>\n All above detention people gather in public area during certain times, forming temporary communities for a week, a day, an hour, or only a few minutes. But it causes a force to be reckoned with in the congestion of circulatory space.<\/p>\n Methodological Processes<\/strong><\/p>\n We human beings keep our biological clock, while the pedestrian also have its own timetable.<\/p>\n The schedule of different temporary gathering groups will be studied through observation and research. Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Mong Kok are proposed targets, which are bothered seriously by pedestrian congestion problem of visitors and domestic helpers. The biological clock of pedestrian and public space will be found out and the potential sites in the future design will be decided.<\/p>\n Most of the public spaces near the ground level have already been used up in dense urban centers. However, there are still instances of in-between existing either physically or mentally, where is suitable to place these temporary communities to relieve the congestion of pedestrian among different time slots. This thesis will take advantage of the in-between space by inserting structures for temporary communities, and create a pedestrian freeway for the usual passersby.<\/p>\n\n
