纽约市有超过八百万人拥挤地生活在一起。是什么让这成为可能？一部分是因为优质的公共空间 -- 从微小的口袋公园，到狭长的海滨长廊 -- 人们可以在其中游玩。作为动物行为学家，阿曼达·博顿基于她的经验，协助规划了一些城市中最新的公共空间。她分享了自己规划那些广受喜爱的公园时所受到的意外挑战；以及公共空间在人们生活中的重要性。

公共空间怎样让城市生动起来？

A city’s success depends on how its public spaces invite people to gather, connect, and feel at home. In New York, even a tiny park with movable chairs and greenery transformed how people experienced urban life. Thoughtfully designed parks and plazas require relentless attention to detail, and their existence is always under threat from commercial interests. When public space flourishes, neighborhoods feel more vibrant, and millions feel proud to call the city their own.
