Abstract

This study defined the urban phenomenon in which city functions are dependent on the mobility of things such as the ‘delivery city phenomenon’. Its macroscopic and spatial characteristics were qualitatively studied through the concept of a taskscape that allowed more three-dimensional observation of the urban landscape. This centered on the behavior and interaction of actors. The core of the study was to observe and analyze the city’s appearance according to the phenomenon using the framework of macro-spatial taskscape. Through the study, it was confirmed that the urban structure changed in a way that formed a physical and spatial infrastructure. This supported the mobility of things in accordance with the complete transition of the spatial background of consumption from face-to-face to non-face to face according to COVID-19. In further detail, logistics warehouses fixed to the surface continue to move logistics. Roads functioned as labor spaces for delivery workers, and doors functioned as both entrances of private living spaces and receiving spaces recipients and deliverers can meet are examples of the changes. This study aims to bring up ‘delivery city’ as a conversation topic by observing this phenomenon. It follows the path of the mobility of things and analyses the city’s scape through a multilateral perspective.
