Residential to Commercial Area Development: The Case of Nimmanhemin, Chiang Mai, Thailand
Nimmanhemin is a significant shopping area in Chiang Mai, where shopping areas developed fromlong-distance trade transport and developed into merchant communities, but Nimmanhemin beganas a residential area and was later developed for commercial purposes. Therefore, Nimmanhemin representsa unique development. This study focuses on the spatial transformation from a residential area into acommercial area and aims to discover the factors impacting the development of the residential area intoone of today’s most significant commercial areas in Chiang Mai, and study the adaptation of buildings whichwere not primarily created for commercial purposes. Even though the existing planning of the Nimmanheminarea does not provide public space, housing estate planning has the ability to adapt to the creation of newpublic spaces in commercial terms. In addition, architectural adaptation influences public spaces in theNimmanhemin area.
