Abstract

development, the quality and adaptability of urban public spaces have increasingly become the core indicators for measuring livability. Urban public space is the core carrier of residents' daily activities, and its usage status shows significant differences over time. This article takes the time dimension as the core perspective, combined with time elements such as residents' daily schedules, seasonal changes, and urban functional cycles, to analyze the differences in the usage characteristics and patterns of urban public spaces at different times, and to analyze the problems of supply-demand mismatch and resource waste caused by neglecting the time dimension in current public space planning. Based on real urban development practices, it proposes a public space optimization path that adapts to time patterns, providing practical references for improving the efficiency of urban public space utilization and enhancing residents' sense of gain.
