Abstract

This paper explores the ways in which regenerate the historical urban park, in terms of how to refer the historical concepts and how to negotiate with the contemporary conditions and requirements. It especially looks at Birkenhead Park that was planned in 1844 by Liverpool Council with Joseph Paxton’s plan. Since the construction was progressed by the public authority under the Liverpool Improvement Act, it has been considered as the first public park project derived by public fund. Through the literature and hearing researches, this paper shows the following three key points in the process of the Birkenhead Park regenerating project. Firstly, the well reserved documents, particularly the book written by Edward Kemp, the chief gardener, and plans reserved in the Wirral Archives Service, supported to make a regeneration plan by giving the original landscape ideas of Birkenhead Park. Secondly, Birkenhead Park regeneration project has been conducted with the concept to realize the original design as much as possible along with solving the contemporary issues of the park such as, the drainage issue, the dog walking issue and so. The third point is that the people’s motivations to keep the park in well condition having been cultivated through the history strongly supported the regeneration project and the maintenance works afterwards.
