如果你也聽過標題的這首歌，相信你年紀肯定不小，那是 Raidas 的歌，由林夕填詞。但今次不是跟你玩估歌仔，而是美國麻省理工學院（ＭIT）最近發表的研究指出，愈來愈少人在公共空間停留，甚至連城巿規劃或設計都愈來愈少公共空間，那其實是一種退步。原因不難估，不又是手機惹的禍。當人們生活愈來愈倚賴手機，WFH、用 Zoom 開會、上網睇劇、上網買嘢，在社交平台聯誼，於是在公共空間活動的時間便減少。事實上，疫情也是一個催化劑，還記得三、四年前的隔離檢疫嗎？在公共空間多人聚會是犯法的。再要說下去，也有說城巿設計也是元凶之一，且看馬鞍山或將軍澳發展，全是商場或室內消費場所，沒有了街道生活，人們寧可留在家中嘆冷氣。要解決一日三餐，用外賣平台啦。種種原因交織在一起，全世界的城巿（不獨是香港）都少了路人，「沒有路人的都巿」竟然成為了預言。 不是要扮高深，MIT 的研究或是想探討消失了的公共空間對人類的潛在影響。在城巿發展層面來看，公共空間從來是建構城市生活和文化的重要元素，香港之所以是香港，東京之所以是東京，巴黎之所以是巴黎，其城巿建築、面貌和生活模式造就城巿的獨特氣質，如果沒有了公共空間，每個城巿之間還有什麼不同？又從社區層面去看，公共空間是社區的「客廳」，為居民提供活動和交流的場所，促進人與人之間的交往，如果你覺得有社交網絡就可以，那麼你便成為演算法的傀儡了。最後，從自身出發，公共空間如公園、遊樂場、海濱走廊或行山徑等，不單是見面交流的好去處，也讓人們有機會親近自然，提升身心靈健康。 但可能，這一刻你正在家中吃着外賣玩手機。 撰文：郭昊軒圖片：ViuTV 節目《當遊客不存在》截圖 Source link
