本論文探討全球化社會中當代都市與建築的空間特性並強調區域與國家的觀點與現象也應該被放在全球城市形塑的範疇中被考慮。透過全球化和都市化的連結，作者試圖釐清全球化現象與實質環境中的文化再現之間的複雜關係，並且理解都市的動態發展與建築空間的表現如何擴充進而調整我們對全球城市論述的既定認識。
經由全球化對日常生活空間所產生的影響，本論文以「信義計畫區」為例，探討全球城市形塑與全球化空間的議題。信義計畫區的發展與城市地景展現了一種消費導向的全球城市面貌，提供了可以深入探討此課題的案例。對於被主流全球化論述歸類在第二級全球城市的台北市而言，信義計畫區與台北101的案例研究，在都市公共空間和建築空間的形塑，提供面對全球文化衝擊的另一種可能。此外，關注文化認同與公共性的設計議題，也讓台北101在面對同質化的全球化空間現象中，呈現了一個具有獨特性、在地性且多樣的面貌。

This dissertation investigates the characteristics of the contemporary architecture and urban space in global society. Rather than considering cities as directly linked to the global economy in a similar, homogeneous way, this research suggests that the mediation of regional and national domains of social action ought to be considered in order to provide a framework for including differences and variation in the treatment of cities in the world system. By exploring the connection between globalisation and urbanisation, I attempt to expand the understanding of the complex relationship between globalisation and the cultural representation in built environments, and the understanding of what are the changes of urban dynamics and architectural representation rework globalisation, and vice versa. With the concerns of the effects of globalisation on our living spaces in everyday life as witnessed in the Xin-Yi Planning District, two main issues addressed in this dissertation are the global city formation and the globalised urban spaces — the high rises.
The development of Xin-Yi Planning District reveals a consumer-oriented global city formation with a different appearance of the cityscape, which might be an alternative phenomenon and may be a worthy, but as yet unexplored, direction in the formation of a second-tier global city. The case study of Taipei 101 also provides a new possibility in the formations of urban public space and architecture. Associating with cultural identity and publicness, it reveals a meaningful role in the face of homogeneous globalisation in terms of a specific, local, and diverse appearance.
