Abstract
This article explores the logic of the production of urban public space and further explains the main misunderstandings. It argues that China’s urban public space often follows the rules created by power and capital, neglecting human life. And then it arouses urban residents to create public space from bottom-up in their own way. However, each of the three logics has its advantages and disadvantages. What the key is to build a hybrid community that keeps a dynamic balance between logic of power, capital and life, and promotes organic development. Therefore, it proposes four design models that facilitate community building.
