Abstract

The primary goal of this research is to link two currently disconnected literature; the history of urban redevelopment and the one of urban parks and open spaces in the United States (US). Through this exercise, this study attempts to reveal examples of urban parks and open spaces that have yielded economic effects, and emphasize their possibility as a measure of urban redevelopment. Five phases are presented, starting with two Pre-World War II urbanization periods, and three subsequent periods of Post-World War II urban redevelopment (1940s~1960s, late 1960s~1970s, 1980s~present). While urban parks in the 19th century urbanization period held a preeminent place in urban design, policy and economy, ensuing depression and World War II diminished their role as a channel to ease unemployment. In the first phase of urban redevelopment, the economic motive to build open space was to boost the appeal of specific locales in order to draw people and businesses back to a neglected city. In the second phase, public effort to create and maintain urban parks and open spaces declined due to the budget austerity, instead, community open spaces flourished through the voluntary actions and helped neighborhoods to regain desirability. In the third phase, the aspirations and functions of such projects resemble their forerunners of the first phase, but their targets extended to global businesses and elites.

이 논문은 현재 단절되어 있는 도시 재생과 도시공원의 역사를 연계하여, 그 안에서 도시 공원이 경제적 기여를 했던 사례를 찾아내고, 더불어 도시공원이 가진 도시 재생 매체로서의 가능성을 역설함을 목적으로 한다. 19세기부터 오늘날에 이르기까지의 시기를 총 5개로 구분하였으며, 그중 2단계는도시화, 3단계는 도시 재생 시기를 아우른다(1940s~1960s, late 1960s~1970s, 1980s~present). 도시화 단계에서의 도시 공원은 도시 계획에 있어 정치, 경제적 지배력을 가진 요소였으나, 뒤이은 대공황과 세계 2차 대전을 거치면서 고용을 증대하기 위한 경기부양책으로 이용되기도 한다. 전후 도시 재생시대의 첫번째 단계에서 발견된 도시 공원은 도시의 매력적인 요소로서 인구와 산업을 유인하는 역할을 하게 된다. 두 번째 시대에는 정부 예산의 부족에서 비롯된 자발적 커뮤니티 오픈 스페이스가 증가하게 되는데, 이도 궁극적으로는 인근 주거지역의 이미지를 쇄신시켜 개발을 촉진시키게 된다. 마지막 단계에서 찾은 도시 공원 형태도 첫번째 시대에서와 마찬가지 역할을 하게 되나, 국제화 시대의 요구에 따라 글로벌 인재와 국제 기업을 유치하는데 기여한다.
