This article unfolds how the predominant binary view towards urban design offers an alternative tripartite interpretation. This less orthodox but more realistic probing of the field's methods of praxis (hybridity, spontaneity, and continuity) “dissolves” its dominant formal-informal binary categorizations. Hybridity represents the synergistic city-nature relationship based on visually persuasive methods of design by mimicking natural processes. Spontaneity captures how local creative impromptu small-scale DIY design intervention efforts fill possible gaps in formal top-down urban design projects. Continuity highlights the complementary (rather than polarized) relationship between formal and informal urbanism.

城市设计中的一致性（？）：奇怪同胞的概念融合

本文揭示了对城市设计的主要二元观点如何提供另一种三方解释。这种对该领域实践方法（混合性、自发性和连续性）的不那么正统但更现实的探索“消解”了其占主导地位的正式-非正式二元分类。混合性代表了基于视觉说服设计方法的协同城市与自然关系，通过模仿自然过程。自发性捕捉了当地创意即兴的小规模 DIY 设计干预工作如何填补正式自上而下的城市设计项目中可能存在的空白。连续性突出了正式和非正式城市主义之间的互补（而不是两极分化）关系。
