| 摘要： | Abstract The compact city paradigm is an influential but debatable school of thought. In the current literature, the empirical findings of both sides of the debate are sometimes based on inapplicable types of cities, which leads to opposing perspectives and pieces of advice. Instead of judging whether a compact city is good or bad, this theoretical article focuses on the suitability of the compact city paradigm. It employs a counterfactual approach instead of analyzing the compact status quo. Through a qualitative content analysis, this article develops indicators of the form change rationales from 150 frequently cited academic works. Then, it develops a five-section framework that guides planners in organizing their thinking when they need to examine the suitability of a compact city approach to local contexts. It will help scholars and decision makers apply the real content of the paradigm but without considering it absolute. |
