Abstract:
Based on a comprehensive review of urban time theories from a multidisciplinary background, as well as recent theories and practical experiences related to temporal city planning both domestically and internationally, this paper introduces the concept and content of temporal city planning from the core perspectives of time geography and behavioral geography. It elucidates the theoretical foundations of temporal city planning, including its views on time, space, and humanity, and discusses the practical approaches and future prospects of temporal city planning. Temporal city planning adopts an integrated perspective of “time-space-people”, with spatiotemporal and behavioral planning as its core methodology. It discusses specific implementation paths from three angles: spatial planning, time planning, and the background of modern technology. It also emphasizes that planners should possess a corresponding awareness of time and innovate theoretical perspectives and practical approaches in urban planning.
