About This Course

This course examines the value and impact of open community designs, using a case study of Liuyun Community in Guangzhou, China. By transforming traditional gated areas into open commercial and residential spaces, open communities aim to foster accessibility and a vibrant urban atmosphere. Learners will explore how these designs influence social interaction, perceived value, and urban challenges like privacy and congestion. The course introduces methods for evaluating community openness based on commercial service, cost, social, and perceptual values. Through structural equation modeling (SEM), participants will learn to assess resident satisfaction, behavioral intentions, and design considerations for balancing public and private interests. Ideal for urban planners, architects, and community managers, this course provides a framework for creating livable, efficient, and socially cohesive open communities.

Key Areas Covered:

  • Commercial Service Value (CSV): Impact of community amenities and accessibility on perceived value.
  • Cost and Risk Assessments: Understanding how costs and potential risks affect resident satisfaction.
  • Social Value and Interaction: Enhancing social connection through open community design.
  • Perceptual Value Analysis: Assessing how community design influences public perception and behaviour.
  • Structural Equation Modeling (SEM): Techniques to evaluate and balance design effectiveness and stakeholder needs.

    Interesting, but closed communities hardly exist in the UK, so Open communities are the norm. Lack of illustrations and jargon make this boring & conceptual
