Abstrakt: |
Space and agglomeration are perhaps the most basic features in city formation. City formation also requires continuous investment in public infrastructure, housing, and business capital, which makes cities form and grow in sequence. As public infrastructure, bridge is closely related to the sedentarization and agglomeration of population as well as to the transportation of people and goods. Accordingly, the values of bridge are examined with respect to the evolution of bridge within the city formation process so as to predict the future development trends of bridge and corresponding meanings. The major social roles fulfilled by bridges as social infrastructures and cultural asset are examined and extended to their roles in the city formation and further in the economic development process of a country. |
