摘要: 凯文•林奇是20世纪最具影响力的城市设计理论家之一，其著作《此地何时：城市与变化的时代》（What Time Is This
Place?）开创性地将时间概念引入城市设计，拓展了人们对城市时间性的认识，为城市设计实践提供了新的视角。系
统梳理凯文•林奇的时间城市设计思想，从3个层面剖析其理论体系的核心内容和创新贡献：一是揭示时间的主观性、
共享性和规范性特征，提出构建兼具连续性和精确性的城市时间结构；二是从过去、现在和未来3个维度阐述塑造城
市意象的时间路径；三是提出主动引导与被动适应相结合的策略，以管理城市社会和环境变化。凯文•林奇对时间在城
市发展、环境塑造和生活体验中价值的思考和探讨，为推动城市设计理论创新和实践范式转型提供了宝贵的思想资
源和借鉴。
Abstract: Kevin Lynch is one of the most influential urban design theorists of the 20th century. His work What Time Is This Place?
pioneered the introduction of time into urban design, expanding people's understanding of urban temporality and providing
a new perspective for urban design practice. This paper aims to systematically review Kevin Lynch's "time urban design" concept and analyze the core content and innovative contributions of his theoretical system from three levels. Firstly, it reveals the subjective, shared, and normative characteristics of time, and proposes the construction of an urban time structure
that combines continuity and precision. Secondly, it elaborates on the time paths for shaping urban imagery from three dimensions of past, present, and future. Finally, it proposes strategies that combine active guidance and passive adaptation to manage urban social and environmental changes. Kevin Lynch's reflection and discussion on the value of time in urban development, environmental shaping and life experience provides valuable ideological resources and references for promoting the innovation of urban design theory and the transformation of practical paradigm.
