Abstract
As small-scale public space containing daily life, miniature public space is an important tool of micro-regeneration. Firstly, this paper analyzes the concept, categories, and status quo of miniature public space, proposes the ‘embedding,’ ‘fixing,’ and ‘public participation’ principles of miniature public space planning and the goal of “supplement and perfection of public space system,” and introduces the strategy and classification method for miniature public space planning. In addition, taking Hanyang District in Wuhan as an example, the paper explores the application of the proposed principles, strategies, and methods in practice.
