城市让生活更美好。在当下中国转型发展的时代背景中,人们对城市物质空间环境的需求正逐步由“量”向“质”转变,而城市设计以提升物质空间环境为根本出发点,可预见未来城市设计将扮演愈发重要的角色。伴随着经济和科技的迅速发展,城市空间的内涵与形态也正在发生日新月异的变化,相比于传统城市设计更多关注城市形态美学的“外在显性”属性,当代城市设计对于安全、生态、健康等“内在隐性”的属性保持着高度关注。尤其在中国,对于城市环境安全、人居空间友好、生态健康导向的重视,在城市设计中提升到了前所未有的新高度。

City makes our life more beautiful.In the current era of China's transformation and development,people's demand for urban material space environment is gradually changing from"quantity"to"quality",while urban design is based on the improvement of material space environment.It is foreseeable that future urban design will play an increasingly important role.Along with the rapid development of economy and science and technology,the connotation and form of urban space are undergoing rapid changes.Compared with traditional urban design which pays more attention to the"external explicit"attributes of urban form aesthetics,contemporary urban design shows more concerns on the"intrinsic"attributes including safety,ecology and health.Especially in China,the emphasis on urban environmental security,human-friendly space and ecological health orientation has been brought to an unprecedented new high level in urban design.
