| Abstract | This paper aims to focus on smart management of urban public space toward livable city. Along with the waves of digital and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) revolutions, smart City model has become a global “hot” trend and is expected to contribute to the livable city. The role of public space is universal, yet its functions and characteristics vary according to the particularities of the area and the community there. Public space sustains the productivity of the city and its social cohesion and inclusion, quality of life and local identity, and ultimately supports urban prosperity. Therefore, they should be planned and managed well and smartly for all kinds of users. Like many fast-developing capital cities, Hanoi has been facing increasing challenges caused by market-based hyper-urbanization, which oftentimes neglects to provide adequate social space for residents. Spontaneous and uncontrolled rapid urbanization results in chaotic urban patterns. This research goes around a central question of how to manage public space in various ways including efficient space usage toward livable city. The research seeks international lessons that show way forward, and lessons learned from Singapore were chosen to introduce. The research adopts qualitative research methodology. The flow of the paper starts off with a review of the discourse on public space and its management and explores the importance of public space in the city and how it can contribute to livable city. Then it introduces urban development in Hanoi with a focus on the Historical metropolitan area as defined in the Primer Minister’s Decision 1259/QĐ-TTg, and its current situation regarding public space planning and management. Coming to the demonstration case study, this paper explores experiences and lessons from Singapore, which demonstrate ways to management of urban public space. At last, the paper provides some discussions and concludes that inclusive stakeholder participation with local community involvement under a strategic partnership among public, private and academia can be a key to the success of public space planning and management toward livable city. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. |
