Public Space Planning in Shanghai in the Post Pandemic Era Based on User Research

Abstract

In the post epidemic era in China, the government is accelerating the modernization of urban governance. In this context, this article aims to use a quantitative research form of questionnaire surveys to collect the evaluation and expectations of Shanghai residents towards public spaces in Shanghai, and further analyze the data to provide directions for the development of Shanghai public space planning. After gathering the data, the research has found that the quantitative evaluation of public spaces in Shanghai by participants fluctuates very little, with user experience above average. Ordinary needs are basically met, but higher-level needs such as spiritual needs and self actualization are not met. Therefore, the renovation of public space is a must. After comprehensive analysis, the author suggests strengthening the renovation of old residential areas according to local conditions, adding health monitoring facilities, optimizing digital governance, increasing residents' participation, and increasing public welfare projects in Shanghai's future urban planning.
