Abstract
The Project is focused on the perception of “an image” of a city. Perception of urban space is usually linked to a picture portrayal that consists of something to be seen, remembered, understand, and apply. For examining this research/project and its relevance in a different geographical and cultural contest, this study looks at an American city to assess the applicability of Kevin Lynch’s framework and to try and find out whether the framework still holds. For this Research work, New York City was selected for the fieldwork and people’s perception. A study of responses given by the people was thus carried out to fulfill the objectives of this study. Kevin Lynch’s work and criticism was taken as a base and present-day study was done to understand city image. The city provided the exploration of varied learning and the extension to the framework by the perception of people. The categorization of the sample and the categorization of answers for analysis led to the inferences that were different from the expected learning outcomes. It further goes on to explore whether the imageability cities and their elements have any co relation to the how space is perceived. And there is subtraction and/or addition to those elements from which city image is perceived and how it helps to understand and design and redefine urban spaces. Furthermore, urban - design prototype was designed to assess its applicability in today’s world through people’s perception.
